Mark you Calendars!!!! We have to Celebrate together!!!!

you guys! My son, Theo, added the "pizzazz" to this flyer!! It is the happiest flyer I've ever seen! A few words about this CD coming your way... This album is full of my favorite sweet songs- made sweeter by the moments they are shared with you and your little ones. The musicians, the children, the parents, the engineer- all of them have made these songs come alive! but also- you and your children. Whether you were in the studio with me or not, you are a part of this work. It is so challenging to articulate my feelings here, but I will try! Many of these songs on this record have been with me for years and years, and some only recently. But regardless of the birthdate of these songs, they have shaped my heart and shaped my experiences with you. I feel like these songs have your little ones' energies preciously tied up together. They are forever living and breathing inside them :) I have to tell you about something during the recording sessions. I would have these "moments" or maybe "awarenesses" as we were laying down the tracks. I'd suddenly think of your children singing along or of them doing the bended knee bounce dance (haa!), or of you hugging them in your lap as you sang to them. It made the experience of recording this project SO magical!! It made me sing with a smile on my face. I pictured you all singing in the car. I'd see you dancing in the kitchen together. I'd imagine you quietly singing as you tucked them into bed. A quicker way to say this is- you were with me through the whole thing! I'm so grateful for every single one of you, you beautiful parents. We are all mucking our way through parenthood- and I feel so thankful to have music connect us and bring us to the moment. We all are the same. And I love that. I hope this CD brings you joy and can be a touchstone of this fleeting time with our little ones. "Everything is Gonna Be Alright" xo, g
