What I Like About You

A little over a month ago, I decided to draw pictures for my niece and nephew for Christmas.  My nephew Ethan is a big Boston Red Sox fan, so I knew he'd like a pic of one of his favorite baseball players.  My niece Katherine is 16, and I wasn't sure what she would like.  So I asked my sister (her mom) who her favorite singers or performers were.  The answer came back: Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.  I thought, "Really?  Kids today have the whole internet, they don'y even have to pay for music, and her favorites are the biggest pop stars?"  My next thought was that I need to introduce my niece and nephew to some new music.  Well, actually to some old music that's new to them.  If they like it, great.  If not, that's OK, too. 

So that's what this blog is about, showing a bunch of my favorite music to my niece and nephew, and anyone else interested, to broaden their musical horizons a bit.  Since pop music is their favorite right now, I thought a poppy tune like The Romantics "What I Like About You" is a good place to start.  Enjoy.
