Topic: Taylor Swift concert in my basement!

My eldest asked me to come out and see something she's been practicing.  She then sang a full version of Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" in time and on key a capela, and even danced a little while doing it.  It was totally awesome.  She completely blew me away.

Great Zurf. Now get her to do it again but this time have the video recorder handy so we can all enjoy.

Re: Taylor Swift concert in my basement!

Nice!  Taylor Swift is one of the few current pop queens that doesn't completely drive me nuts.   My 10 year old gets annoyed with me whenever there is a swift song on the radio, and she turns it up.  I give her my "mean daddy" look, and then turn it up more!

Then I laugh.

Agreed, I have an 8 year old daughter that is also a big Taylor Swift fan. I hope she can continue to be a good roll model and not go off the deep end like the others.

Mine used to be a big Hanna Montana fan.  Now "she's all skanky."   I laugh and laugh. I really do.

Re: Taylor Swift concert in my basement!

Kids change their idols fast these days.  There is always someone new to look up to.  That is the way life is supposed to be, I guess.  My oldest daughter was infatuated by Michael Jackson back in the mid 80's when she was ten or so.  We got her a Thriller album, I think it was and a Michael Jackson glove came with the album for Christmas that year.  She was in heaven.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

My gal is nine.  I have heard people complain that Taylor Swift's songs are all juvenile.  I would hope so!  She had songs on the radio and was getting acclaim from her peers on Country radio and in the academies when she was 16 and 17 years old.  She took new female artist of the year her senior year of high school!  Given that she is living the life of a adolescent moving into woman-hood, I would anticipate that her songs would reflect that.  She has written, and written well, about the things she knows.  My hope is that as she matures that her songwriting topics do as well.

Yup.  Writes her own stuff.  Sings her own stuff.  Plays her own guitar.   Thats worth respect no matter what.

My nine-year-old grandson, Casey likes Mystery guitar Man. I became a fan, too.
