Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 23, 2010
Transcript:
Alice: Petey, can I wear your elf hat? Mom: Well, that was the best Winter Concert ever! Petey: It was okay, except for some kids who kept laughing. And Andre who kept losing his violin, and Loris kept finishing the songs before the rest of the chorus. And Viola counted the beats out loud the whole time. And once, during the snowflake jamboree, I think I saw Ernesto with his trombone. Alice: I liked the hats! Look, there's my new best friend whatshername! Mom: Sofie. Alice: Yeah! Bye, Sofie! Girl: Bye, Alice! Merry Christmas!

So, she needed a little help. At least she called out the right name for once.

Nothing’s more annoying than having to play music with someone who counts out loud. I sympathize with Petey on this one.

That’s such a typical mom comment after a show, eh? That’s how my mom would’ve summed it up too..

Cul dE sac makes me warm and happy and sentimental and aware of how small moments are really what life is all about. There’s no snark or meanspiritedness. It’s gentle and tender and wonderful. Thank you, Richard. This is genius work.

“Some kids”?? I think Petey would recognize Alice’s laugh by now! (And the sound of his mom shushing her!!)
