Stevie Wonder concert 7/11


That's right, five days after birth our first trip out of the house was to a Stevie Wonder show. We figured it is important to imprint good music onto her early.
She slept solid the whole time except during Visions In My Mind. Stevie spends half the song talking to the crowd about making the world a better place. Sola seemed to be actively listening. I have never seen her eyes so bright.
Stevie's daughter Aisha is a back up singer in the band and was also the inspriation for his song Isn't She Lovely. Stevie called his daughter to come sit on hit piano bench and he sang the song to her. Julia, Sola, and I were totally elated; dancing, crying, and hugging the whole song. Oh Stevie, the things your music makes us do.
