Rachel and Ben are both home for the week, and they brought the two most popular current songs on the radio and sang them at the same time.

Elaine Fine I am active as a composer, a violist, a violinist, a recorder player, and as a teacher. I have been keeping this space in the blogosphere alive with assumptions about music (and assorted other things) since 2005.View Profile

Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume.

Brava! Bravo! Creates a wonderful feeling of contentment.
Thank you, Lyle. I believe that the greatest accomplishment of my life has been to raise two children who genuinely love one another.
Congratulations, Elaine!
Clever . . . it's nice most of the current popular songs follow the same chord progressions . . . ;-) Katy Perry's recent "Wide Awake" is a new variation of Pachelbel's Cannon (like so many others . . . ). My kids and I like to sing the violin parts along with her when that song comes on the radio. haha
Actually Ben played the chords for the song that Rachel was singing! I really don't understand HOW he can actually do that. And the text juxtapositions just happened. They we're a surprise, and not a plan.
