Transporting music to the next generation
by frizztext
We tried to transport the surprising phenomen of loving music to our daughters and grandchildren. We started with old German folksongs, illustrated by the cartoonist Tomi Ungerer. Recently one of my daughters opened a youtube channel (like her father some years before)…

Just the other day I friend and I were having this discussion about musical tastes being handed down the generation! Loved the photo!cheers!
sometimes even the blind made me see:
recently in Brussels I made music together with a blind clarinet player – he was a wonderful human being!
It’s good to teach music in early days.
hi man of Coco in Japan,
I’ve enjoyed your music blog – featuring “O Tannenbaum” (a German song):

merci Catou in Bruxelles for your performance of MISTY (together with my friend Lutz)!
Catou’s comment:
J’ai eu l’occasion d’enregistrer cette chanson pendant mes vacances en Allemagne
avec un merveilleux accordéoniste et bassiste
Je chante en m’accompagnant d’un bouzouki un peu modifié (retiré 4 cordes) et accordé comme un banjo plectrum.
Love that shot at the to Frizz
The picture with your grandson is beautiful.
I love the Knocking on heavens door cover, what a talented woman! fantastic photography too Frizz, i love that tiled hallway and stairs
She is beautiful and has a great voice! Wonderful photo of your grandson!

I was blessed to have parents and grandparents that did this with me; and am fostering this with my own grandchildren, after doing so with my children! Such legacies are held between the notes, you know!

That is so awesome! Teach them young, it’s a wonderful gift.
It’s important to pass on the appreciation for music!
