The Weekend

I love living in St. Louis! We're close to so many cool things, and can walk to a ton of great places...not to mention, there's a lot of great places to snap pictures of the girls.


Over the weekend, we were also fortunate to see the Monet exhibit at the Art Museum.


And Olive decided to go in a gnome motif...

Vampires > Live at The Duck Room

Last night I was humbled to play The Duck Room at Blueberry Hill in St. Louis. This is Chuck Berry's venue, and has a rich musician history!

Here's a video of Vampires w/ Caleb Travers.

Enjoy!

KIDS + MUSIC

Kate called me today with a funny story...

She and Cora were listening to the radio and Little Drummer Boy started playing. Cora asked if it was me. It wasn't. Then she went through all of my musician friends...was it "Jeremy Larson, Andre, Harry, Brendan?"

Its a great story, because I know that my girls are immersed with music and musicians.

But that got me thinking a little more. I tend to listen to lots and lots of music, different artists and bands, and don't repeat very often. I wonder if that change is a good or bad thing for my girls? Would it be better to listen to a season of Beatles, a season of Radiohead, and a season of Sting, etc, or is it better for the constant rotation?

Please continue the conversation!

Peace,
Ross

Surround Yourself

Surround Yourself

Drawing circles
Haloed forces
Who to let in, so close?

Not to be picky
But health's at stake
When you surround yourself

So choose love
And challenge
Support and strength
Surround yourself
With life

Family and critics
Haters and lovers
Those that want you gone

Friends and skeptics
Enemies and allies
Who do you let in?

So choose love
And challenge
Support and strength
Surround yourself
With life

Circle, circles
Halos of love

Circle, circles
Halos of life

So choose love
And challenge
Support and strength
Surround yourself
With life
