Every generation has its "evil." I'm pretty sure Miley Cyrus is today's. Lol! You've really captured the shock so many parents undoubtedly felt witnessing some of our musical icons for the first time. <br /><br />Well done.

Don't we all have memories of our parents witnessing our own idols (for me people like Madonna for the first time I suppose..and me blankly looking at them saying "So?" ) <br /><br />but you reading it was incredible and outstanding. Thank you for doing that. <br /><br />Music in our lives is an incredible force and "seeing it' through LIVE performances adds the layer just like you did, to the experience. <br /><br />hope you had a wonderful weekend <br />Kirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894442143508446312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519288249692657296.post-11884204300361947952013-10-14T00:05:54.126-04:002013-10-14T00:05:54.126-04:00Atmosphere indeed.

Funny thing, though.......Glad you liked the audio. Funny thing, though........it is Thanksgiving Day weekend up here in Canada and so, the house was full of people. For a few moments, everyone seemed to be occupied elsewhere and my thoughts turned to my post and to recording my audio version. The only place that was unoccupied and quiet enough to record in was my youngest daughter, Sophie's bedroom. So, picture me, crouched between her bed and her toy shelf, almost whispering into my iPad. I had to do several takes to get the one that you heard because I kept picking up background noise; the kids singing, peals of laughter and chatter. I went back to be semi-social after I had posted the audio clip. As far as I know, no one really missed me when I stepped out and no one knows that my words came alive for your ears to hear all around the world.

Once the BBC started airing performances such as this, TV was never the same; especially in the minds of button-down folks such as the Mom and Dad in my story.
