Music can be like clothes, sometimes the styles you think are cool 15 years ago you look back and notice, "wait a minute, sports themed tee shirts and jean shorts past my knees might not have been the best look for a teenage girl". Or "You mean to tell me Hootie and the Blowfish were not really that cool". I was the chick in middle school with both long jean shorts AND a Hootie and the Blowfish shirt. Then around 8th grade heading into high school I heard of a band called Dave Matthews Band. So you know I signed myself up for BMG (without asking moms permission), got my free 6 CDs or whatever it was with a promise to buy 1 at full price, and jammed out to my walkman CD player in my room. I think my other purchases included In-Vouge, because What a man, was my jam, Jock Jams and Jewel. What can I say I was a diverse pre-teen. Back to the matter at hand, here we are 15-20 years later and if anyone was to ask me "whats your favorite band" hands down I would answer Dave Matthews Band (and not just because it has Band in the title).
My hubby and I try to attend their concert every year. It is our special thing we have done for over 10 years now. We did skip a few for pregnancies and a few years ago when they didn't tour (boo). We also don't go to the nearest show, we like to spend the weekend for us and just go. No kids, No work just some "You and me together" time. Its very hard to pick a favorite song but there is one on the new CD, Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King, called "You and Me" that I have totally fallen head over heels for.
I even made a home video to this from a beach trip last year so now whenever the song comes on I think of my sweet hubby running thru the sand with our then chubby 1 year old, and curly top 4 year old. It almost brings tears to my eyes the absolute perfect, frozen in time memories.
When I found the shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/ModGenesDesigns. I saw her beautiful work and without it being advertised as so I knew she was a fellow DMB diehard.
I knew the playroom would be the perfect home for our new print. She printed on art quality canvas so I know this will last!
The print is in 11x14 and among the mass chaos it brings a smile to momma. Not to mention the boys like the "airplane" |
Her shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/ModGenesDesigns is amazing, it is so hard to pick favorites but I will share a few of mine :)
