My wife and I, along with our four daughters, decided to drive to my parents house for Mothers Day in two cars this year. Something happened along the way. My oldest daughter rode with me and asked if we could listen to ADTOE on the roughly hour and a half long drive to Grandma's. I was more than happy to oblige. My wife is not a musical person. My three younger daughters (ages 9, 8 and 5) have also shown little to no interest so far. Along the way we talked about the rest of the DT albums she has heard me play. She told me she really liked TA, ADTOE, FII, IAW and SFAM. I thought I was destined to be the only one with an aptitude for music in the family until she showed an interest in the saxophone last year. I knew she was serious so I bought her one for her 11th birthday last October. She practices as often as she can, sometimes hours a day. She specifically mentioned "Through Her Eyes" and "Another Day" as favorite songs.
I'm proud that not only is she interested in learning to play a musical istrument but that she is taking to so seriously. Who knows. Maybe my other three will discover the gift of music as they get older. Do any other DTFers have kids that are budding musicians?
