We are looking forward to performing in the Arts Festival. Liz and I have been practising and sorting out what to sing and how to sing it and what 'actions' to do! This weekend Rich, Liz, Sian and I will be getting together to have a practice. It's going to be heaps of fun! Lots of new songs and some of the old ones - well, they're not exactly old really!
Rich and I played at two Kindys in Motueka last week and at a Preschool too. They were fun gigs. The kids really enjoyed participating and also listened quietly to us singing and Rich playing guitar.
We also played at a Fair, but it was raining and I got quite wet!! The crepe and cup of tea were nice though!! Mmmmmmmm, yum. I love pancakes. (That's what I call them!)
At the Fair, I was looking at the 2nd-hand clothes and a wee boy with his Mum, took a liking to some blue gumboots. She helped him put them on and he walked around in a funny way. She said to me "he's never worn proper shoes before!" He must have only learned to walk a little while ago, but he was very happy and very cute walking around in his blue gumboots.
It inspired me to write a song - so I did! As I drove home I sang it out loud in the car and made up the tune and words at the same time. I finished it off later the next day. It's called "Brand New Shoes" and it's aimed at toddlers really - but I'm sure older kids will enjoy it too!
