My Geek Baby

I think it’s the rocktastic shirt with the AC/DC font that is influencing this look…

John Coltrane: The Impulse Years

Baby kicked during: Chasin’ the Trane

Baby girl has already been to her first show/concert. The day I learned I was pregnant, I was also getting ready to see the band Jake plays bass in, Scanner Freaks, play a show in DC, and since then she’s been to several more ear-splitting shows of the post-punk rockers. But since her ears have actually developed Jake reminded me that I could be playing her music while in utero. We’re not playing her crappy kids versions of Beatles tunes, but music we/I like. (No offense John Lennon; I dig the Beatles, it’s just the “babyfication” of rock that makes me feel like I’ve got morning sickness all over again.) Yesterday I played Hem and some orchestral cello music in my office but today I gave her a pair of headphones, artfully placed near the belly and cranked up a bit so I could hear too.

What did she hear?
American Analog Set
Album: Know by Heart
First song she kicked to: Kindness of Strangers
