My little girl is a Ralph Covert groupie. As part of her birthday present, we took her to her first concert last fall. Ralph’s World was playing at an intimate venue here in town. She chose her own outfit, based on the lyrics to one of his songs.

She was instantly hooked. Especially after they invited all the kids onstage to “join the band”.

After the concert, she informed Ralph (as he was autographing her very first concert shirt) that he didn’t sing her favorite song, Edward the Tap-Dancing Elephant. Without missing a beat, he immediately obliged by singing the chorus and dancing with her. I think he won her loyalty forever with that, and I know he won mine!!

Last month, we saw Dan Zanes and Friends. It was an awesome concert with tons of audience participation. She enjoyed it very much and was intrigued by the kids in front of us with a sign. I imagine she will want to take a sign to her next concert!

I love exposing her to live music. I can’t wait to see who comes around here next!
