Felix had her last Keynotes (school vocal group) concert in June 2011 where she was able to sing a solo.
We talked and debated what song she should sing. Last year, she sang the Helen Reddy hit, “Angie Baby.”
Obviously, I have influence over what the kids listen to in the car and on their iPods. Heh heh. Felix has been listening to music that was popular 40 years ago since she started riding in the car at four days old and being that this is case, we usually find something fairly eclectic to sing.
This year she did the Nancy Sinatra hit “These Boots are Made for Walkin’.” It was amazing. Amazing for two reasons: first because she did such a great job (yeah, I’m biased), and second because she was one of four performers who did NOT sing (or play as in Leah’s case) some forlorn, airy, breathy, femme fatal song as the other fifteen did.
She sang the ‘Boots’ song, a boy sang 50’s song ‘Stupid Cupid,’ Leah (good friend) played a beautiful piece on the piano called ‘Winter Wind,’ and a quartet of girls sang a song that they wrote and composed.
From the past to the present and moving on. Never really realized time does move at lightening speed when you have kids.
Love you babycakes.
