Join our online community as we post journals from the road, fun notes from kids & families, great stories about music, songs, musicians, people we meet. If we hear a great CD or a wonderful book, we’ll tell you about it. When we come back from the Django Reinhardt Festival in France, we’ll show some pictures and trip highlights. ANYTHING GOES – join us, comment, exchange, tell us about cool music, events, instruments, or just say hi.

When we post new VIDEO PODCASTS, we’ll publish the lyrics and chords to the songs so you can try playing along. Chords & Lyrics to BETTER WHEN WE SING IT TOGETHER, our first video podcast, are:We’re headed off to France for 10 days, including a trip to the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois Sur Seine. It’ll be 4 days of amazing Gypsy Jazz music, jam sessions and awe inspiring concerts. OK, we’ll stay in a castle or 2, see some other major Parisian sites, and above all, nous allons parlez francais, to the best of our abilities.

Tune in soon for the French trip report and more summer fun.

Spread the word and enjoy summer, one day at a time.

If ANY Award makes us proud, it is being appreciated by our fans-Jesse Silverberg, 5 years old, presented us with this award after the GRAMMY’s. THE JESSE AWARD is the BEST!!!! Thanks.

We were honored on Sunday, Oct. 7 to perform with NY Times Bestselling Author and Georgetown University professor, Deborah Tannen. Her most recent book, “You’re Wearing THAT? Understanding Mothers and Daughters in Conversation” inspired us to consider a show together. Deborah’s true stories about her life and the many women she interviewed are eye opening (and heart opening). Her books on communication are highly recommended. The show was special as we alternated between her stories and pearls of wisdom and us singing songs from the “PARENTS’ HOME COMPANION” CD, as well as our own personal stories. We created that CD long ago to enjoy the humor, trials and tribulations of parenting through songs. It was very special to have Marcy’s mother sitting in the front row. We hope to get another opportunity to repeat the show. It was a first time joint performance at the DCJCC’s Literary Festival.
