I feel like when I was younger, one of the things I really wished would happen is that I wished people would really listen to what I had to say and what I was thinking.
And I did not feel like grownups did that very much.
And I don't want to be that grownup.
Hi, so good to be here.
I'm honored.
Sure.
Yeah, when I first graduated from college, I
I was performing and singing my own original songs in cafes around New York City.
And I ended up getting a job as a preschool music teacher.
And I wasn't sure what I was doing at all.
And I ended up deciding that the way I was writing music for my evening performances, I thought, well, I could...
try and do that with the kids since I don't know what to sing with them.
Like they're essentially stumping me.
I would come in having like gone to the library and listened to a lot of music and thinking, Oh, these will be fun songs.
And they would just say, Oh, that's boring.
That's a baby song.
They didn't pay any attention to me.
And so finally I just started saying, well, what do you guys want to sing about?
And actually one of the very first songs I wrote was we are the dinosaurs because some kids said dinosaurs and all the rest of the kids said, yeah.
And I said, great, stand up and let's be dinosaurs.
