This is a response to my song “Happy is the Spring,” a song about the Vernal Equinox that will be on my next album.  The student is wondering whether the goddess of spring in the song is “Miss Linda,” my wife, who is a goddess-like teacher at La Mariposa.

I love sharing my kids’ songs with children.  I believe that they respond to the fact that many of the songs were inspired by and co-written by my own children when they were very young.

You have never seen a more magical school than La Mariposa Montessori in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  All of my children are Montessori kids.  La Mariposa is proof of the wisdom and efficacy of Maria Montessori’s philosophy.  Every city and town in  America should have a public Montessori school.

Recently I was invited to La Mariposa to play my children’s songs for the three to five year olds in the South Class.  Afterwards I made an impromptu visit to the East Class, shown here, to play for the five to seven year olds.
