Where do I begin…it’s been a long hot summer, but we survived the heat wave and the deluge of Lollapollaza. It took a minute for me to recognize what that stuff was falling out of the sky.
Now, it’s time once again for ACL and the continued musical education of my children. This year, boys and girls… the Coolest Mom Ever is going to tell you a story about Lil Stevie and me.
My first memory of hearing Stevie Wonder is the summer of 1976. My parents had this amazing stereo system with these giantic headphones. I sat at the desk singing “Love’s in Need of Love Today” at the top of my lungs (I know…so not like me) not knowing I had an audience. Apparently, my father had been listening to my rendition of the Stevie song. All the while, smiling as I did my best Diva impression tethered to the stereo. Once I finally realized that my concert had ended and the internal applause quieted down, my dad told me how great it sounded. I imagine if he had the vocal talent of his daughter…he would have busted out in the chorus of “Isn’t She Lovely”.
