Sheku Kanneh-Mason: Tiny Desk Concert

NPR MusicNPR Music

The third song Sheku Kanna-Mason performs is “Myfanwy.” The way I’d remembered his introduction to the song is he heard his Welsch grandmother singing it as a child. Going back to the video, that’s not quite what he said.  Anyhow early exposure to music is a great gift for children. 

Here are ten ways babies learn when we sing to them. The benefits of singing to your children are important for parents and caregivers too.

The Kanneh-Mason family are remarkable musicians and collaborated on an album of Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals.Sheku Kanneh-Mason’s newly released album is Sheku Kanneh-Mason: Song

I'm joining in on the trend of making polls to capture your attention with the hope that you'll keep reading to hear about Mounir Raed Alanqar from Gaza (number 8 on the vetted gfms spreadsheet) who messaged me earlier today.

this is what they sent

they are only 19 and fundraising for themselves and their younger sister Sham, who is 4 years old and developing a skin condition.

Please donate to their GFM or at least share their account and their story like I am doing. at time of posting they gave raised €1786 / €35000 and the last donation was 7 hours ago!!!

thank you so much for donating/sharing this post and the posts on their blog, every little counts. we will see a free palestine and we will see it in all of our lifetimes, Sham and Mounir Raed included if you help them out🫶

@raed-moner <- here's the Tumblr

it’s very easy to tell the good satires and pastiches from the bad ones because the bad ones are too afraid to live within the form. like if you are doing work with fairy tales and you are refusing to look closer at the underlying logic and unspoken rules of what can seem at first to be a senseless form, you are not going to create meaningful work. to borrow a turn of phrase originally used by maria tatar, if you refuse to enter “the house of fairy tale” as anything more than a gawking tourist, you will miss the particular order to the way the table is set, the rooms that are locked vs the rooms that are simply difficult to enter, the set of the floorboards and the position of the furniture. whatever you build will then be a gilded imitation of how you believe the house of fairy tale ought to look, the table set according to your educated specifications and every door open. there can be no interrogation of themes from a writer who views the form as beneath them!

ghost/soul polites definitely threw away his open arms policy during six hundred strike, that man would of had poseidon in a chokehold for all the misery and torment he's caused odysseus.

polites: i'll hold him, you stab him

odysseus: but what about open arm-

polites: i opened my arms, then i wrapped them around his neck. tightly. a very forced hug if you will.

odysseus: *now holding poseidon's trident* well i can't argue with that *STAB*

This is an old drawing I made of Aurora but a version of Sky Children of the Light (I love it)

[ask-the-archs]

*Sandalphon walks around the palace, stumbling upon a blanket fort and peering inside. Bea looks up from their book and smiles at him nervously, not recognising the archangel.*

~Hello there, little one. Can I have your name?~

#…Mama said to not answer strangers that question.#

~Ah, well, I am Sandalphon, the archangel of unborn children and music. I’m not a stranger anymore, so problem solved.~

*Bea seems to think it over, before shaking their head*

#Mama and Papa haven’t mentioned you so I shouldn’t trust!#

~So rude to not answer to your elders.~

#But-#

~-Really, for your mother and father not to be teaching you manners is such a shame. Who are they? I must have a word. Especially since they are letting you just… clutter up the palace I live in.~

#…I don’t- Mama and Papa are- they- you live here..?#

~Indeed I do. Though really, aren’t you too old to be calling your parents such childish names?~

#…They’re Mama and Papa-#

~Insolent little brat. Take this… thing down before I inform the Heavenly Father.~

*Bea tears up a little, and Sandalphon scoffs before kicking at one of the pillows, making the blanket roof fall onto Bea, causing them to yelp. He grabs the blanket, pulling at their hair in the process.*

#Let me go!#

~Now now, child, I am not even touching you, stop kicking up a fuss over nothing.~

*Sandalphon pulls the blanket, yanking a chunk of their hair out. A scream echoes throughout Heaven.*

been using these kids as warmups lately !!

[anotherwordortwo]

There’s something so nice about how they used the word Beaming to mean grinning but also use imagery to imply that the star that guides the speaker is the person they’re coming to find.

Also Dally: walking down the street with two bits sister holding his hand, Johnny wearing his leather jacket because he left his at home, pony trying to tell him about a movie he saw the other day, Angela on his back because she was too lazy to walk, and curly trailing behind and trying to flat tire him
