THE TEETHING GUITAR MONSTER (DIRECTOR’S CUT)

The Director’s Cut of a short video of my grandson enjoying my music – or at least, my guitar. The soundtrack is my song, “The Teddy Bear.”

Thanks to Bill Parker, host of the Children’s Show on WRIU Public Radio in Kingston, Rhode Island (WRIU Kids, @wriukids) for playing “Beautiful Song, Wonderful Song” from my album.

In addition to great kid’s music by Raffi, The Rockin’ Berries, and the Boogers, Bill throws in surprising, but obviously kid appropriate, tunes by such groups as Queen, Devo, and Maria Muldaur.

Thanks, Bill Parker, for the vote of support.

How the song “The Rose” was born

Our daughter, Cadance Storm was 6 years old when she inspired “The Rose.” I was playing my guitar and singing to her before bedtime when Cadi said Write about a rose. What about it, I asked. And she said, It is red but it wants to be blue. And so a somewhat melancholy story emerged about a rose, conversing with a bluebird, expressing her desire to be blue like the bird. The song comes to a wistful end, as the rose finds contentment in dreaming that she is blue.

How “The Teddy Bear” song was born.

I was playing my guitar for Juniper, our two-year old, when she impulsively began telling a story about a Teddy Bear who had to use the bathroom. Where did he live? I asked. A barn. Was anyone else there? A man. What did he look like? Red flowers. What else happened? He went swimming, ch ch ch ch. In short order, asking Juniper to fill in more details, I shaped these images into a story. The melody arose magically from an A-minor chord and Juniper laughed and laughed. The true test of this song is the fact that young adults, who demanded to hear The Teddy Bear song over and over when they were toddlers, now tell me how much they still love it.
