My posts here seem to be getting less and less regular. It seems like I just posted last Christmas’s greeting.
This past summer my family discovered the music of Jonathan Coulton. Jonathon apparently launched his singing career by writing a song a week and posting them on his blog. While not all the songs are child-friendly, we love the ones that are.
The children kept talking about how cool it would be to do our very own video of Chiron Beta Prime. The idea kept floating around our house and finally we just decided to see what we could do. Jonathon graciously gave us permission and we began working on things. Originally we were going to do the music and vocals, but we were hard pressed for time during our bathroom renovation When we found that we could get a backing track, we abandoned the idea of playing the music ourselves and just focused on the vocals and video.
We learned much about the recording and editing of music and video and how much time performers have to spend sitting around and then repeating the same thing over and over!
It was great fun though and we are already talking about our next project.
So here’s our musical Christmas greeting:
We wish you all joy and camaraderie this holiday season and health and happiness for 2012.
