Snip--
It's fun for me to see her so enthusiastic about music as well as
forming her own tastes.
--------
I just want to echo this sentiment. My daughter is also 12 years old
now. She still LOVES the Beatles and a few others's I exposed her to
long ago. But now she is suddenly branching out and forming her own
musical tastes independent of me and now she wants to share her music
with me. :)
She found a radio station she likes and is exploring music that way
that I did at her age (yes, different radio I know). Anyway, I find
it really exciting to watch pretty much regardless of her choice. I
try to simply embrace it as her path. She currently loves Ingrid
Michaelson, Colbie Caillat and a bit darker, she loves "Rehab" by Amy
Winehouse and a few other tracks by her. As you can see, she's very
into female singers which makes sense to me.
So, for Robert (is that who originally asked?), my unsolicited
suggestion is to let your 12 year old daughter explore the radio or
to keep getting advice from other's on this lists daughters. :)
FWIW: My main experience of Mike Mazarrella is that long ago he via
Notlame (I think) sent out a free personalize CDR to ANYONE who
simply asked for it. Yes, anyone who asked got an individualized
recording that he made for you as if he's talking to you in the
studio. A very nice gift. I can't even guess at the time he spent on
this. As I recall, he and Bruce put this together as a way of saying
thanks for supporting the music. I can't comment on what he said in
the book per I've not read it yet but no matter, he'll always be aces
with me for that kind gesture. Oh, and Bruce Brodeen too!
Oh, by the way, congrats to John and Bruce for getting this puppy
out.
