a long chat with Hilary

Mary is learning her first Haydn concerto, and Ammon felt inspired to direct her.

On Wednesday my friend, Hilary, and I were texting a lot so she finally just called me. We had a nice, long conversation, and she and Jean were headed either that evening or this weekend to a concert by Rhiannon Giddens. Hilary assured me I would love her, and she texted me some links to her songs.

I played the songs for the kids, and they all–especially Ammon–became obsessed. Ammon wanted to play At the Purchaser’s Option on repeat for hours on end. I’ll post the link to the music here because it is so, so, SO heartbreakingly incredible.
