Bluegrass!

I don't know if any of you watched the PBS Capitol Fourth show/fireworks special, but we did...and recorded it...and two months later, are still watching it nearly every day. The kids--Cody in particular--are obsessed with Steve Martin and his band, who play bluegrass. Cody has every word of the fast, complicated "Me and Paul Revere" song memorized, as well as all of Steve Martin's mini-monologues. But mostly they just like to dance their frenzied little bluegrass dance together...


The best part is listening to Cody "harmonize" with the very last note of the song. I'll have to get it on video.

I have their album - it's great! Sadly though, it doesn't have the Paul Revere song. -Cathy

I think the maracas add so much. And love her spin moves and his leaps.
