With our angel Joey scheduled to come into this world in under two months, I have been playing songs on Jenelle’s belly to give her a taste, if only prenatally of her parents musical tastes.
Music is a very important thing to Jenelle as well as her Grand Pa Frank and Nanna Sandra. They all get such joy from attending concerts or singing Karaoke that I know that if Joey could grow up she would be attending all sorts of concerts all over the world with her mumma, Grand Pa and Nanna.
Friday’s selection was Best of Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’65. I have had this album for at least 15 years and it is one of my favorites. Now for people my age who hear “Sergio Mendes” and immediately think of elevator music and easy listening covers of rock tunes, that is Brasil ’66. And oh what a difference a year makes. You can check out the whole album of Best Of Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’65 at Amazon.com or if you prefer iTunes.
Here are the four songs I played.
Consolação
She’s a Carioca
Tristeza Em Mim
