so my sunday gig at austins' iguana grill restaurant proved to be a special one, indeed.

the little girl in the photo that so many of you are commenting about is my friends' daughter (you did good, joe and elizabeth!) parker anne. she's 3, and loves to sing and dance. she decided she wanted to do a little number on stage with me-- so the fearless child climbed up and did a flawless redition of twinkle, twinkle.

she had already started a dance party for every kid in the place right in front of the make-shift stage, and now the line to sing was forming.

it was a particular hit, i think, when we had a little darlin in tye-dye sing her abc's-- and then me following up with my backwards version of it. when i was in the 4th grade i was in a musical that had the z-y-x song... you can ask me to sing it in its entirety at my next show. i've yet to meet another person who can sing the alphabet backwards, so i'm feelin pretty special.

lol

anyways, all the kids were a riot, and it made my gig TONS of fun (for me and the parents)-- i guess i'll have to started finding clubs that allow 3 and up instead of 18 and up... or 21 and up...

thanks all you people who are still raising amazing children. they are a treasure!
