Just before I left work today, Kathy called to tell me that Lexi had a concert at school tonight, and that I should rush home so I’d be able to make it. Apparently, the kids in music class at Lexi’s school have been working with the great Michael Allen Harrison for the last several weeks, writing songs based on the Dr. Seuss book Oh, the Places You’ll Go, and this was the first I’d heard of it. Actually, the other day, Lexi was singing a song I’d never heard before, and I asked her what the song was. She said “It’s a song I’ve been singing with Michael Allen Harrison.” I thought it was cute that she was singing along with the radio; little did I know that she had been actually truly singing it with him in person.
It was an amazing concert, and I have a new appreciation and respect for all that this amazing musician does. Check out the pictures in the photo gallery.

I know what you mean; when you’re blessed, you really should share your gift.
I didn’t really know who he was myself until yesterday, I just knew that I’d heard of him, and knew that he was a world famous local musician who was really good. I didn’t even know exactly what kind of music he made. For some reason, I kinda thought he was a Christian singer, and that maybe I’d heard him on 104.1 The Fish.
We bought one of his CDs last night (we even had him and Julianne Johnson autograph it) and I listened to it on the way to work this morning. It was very nice, but it’s not the kind of music I normally listen to.
