Baby Shower @ Art Produce for Amy, San Diego, CA [06.22.12]

On Monday [June 18th] I received a text from Sara Morrison asking if I could come and “play baby songs” on Friday afternoon for a couple of hours. Amy (from North Park Music Thing) is expecting a girl August 28th (two days after my birthday…lucky little Virgo to be) and some of her good friends threw her a shower and a going away party (she is also taking leave of her post at NPMT). My calendar was surprisingly free (been SUPER busy thank you Universe keep those phone calls coming!) so I had the pleasure of singing a bunch of songs relating to parenthood, fathers/mothers and sons/daughters. A really wonderful vibe at Art Produce (thank you Lynn). A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Sara Morrsion and Angie Piro Landsberg for enlisting my services. A pleasure and a privilege.
