Music From the Museum Shop

I have so many adventures to report. And I will. I will. I promise, I will.

Yes, you have reason to doubt, but it's a new year and all, and I have the best intentions. Yeah, yeah, I know there is a road paved with them, but I gotta start somewhere.

So, it's a quicky on music again.

We were in Louisville this weekend, Frank and the kids and I. I was hired, actually hired, to MC at a fantastic club called the Comedy Caravan. Louisville is full of the nicest, most engaging people. They are everywhere. No exceptions. Restaurants, at the club, the museums, you name it. But more on all that later this week.

Here's what happened with music. The whole fam was at the Frazier Museum, which, it turns out, is all about guns and armor and such. The was a severe lack of princesses and art and we needed a little break. The boys took a detour across the street to the Louisville Slugger Museum to order a custom engraved bat for Frankie. Lindsey and I took off down the block to the Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts to check of the gift shop. (All the museums are within a few blocks of each other, a genius idea and heaven for me.)

While in the shop, in between telling Lindsey, "Look with your eyes honey. That is a $300 vase," I heard an odd little voice singing and I had to find out who it was. No one was at the shop counter, but I asked the girl at the lobby desk about the music. What was it? Could I buy it?

"It's probably just a mix-tape somebody brought in....let me see," she offered kindly.

"It's just the one guy singing. Even if I can't buy it, I need to know who it is."

She checked the CD player, popped it out and wrote down, "Brett Dennen. So Much More."

I thanked her and if helping me wasn't enough, she gave me an excellent FREE poster with images from Museum Row and then recommended a restaurant. Nice, nice, nice.

The couple of songs I heard were cool. (Although honestly, his voice might be too much to take for more than a couple in a row.) I've locked onto those two songs, like years ago when I would play a 45 record over and over.

So check out Brett Dennen's "Because You Are A Woman" and "One Who Loves You The Most." Listen to the words too. You know me. I dig words. Hope you dig 'em too. Let me know!
