Last night I watched MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS at the Dryden. A beautiful scene is when the father first tells his family that they are moving to NYC. Everyone freaks out. There's lots of yelling and eventually everyone run out of the room crying and sulking. Only the mother stays and tells her husband that they will do whatever he thinks is best and then she starts to play "You and I" on the piano. He says "It's nice to hear you playing again," insinuating that she hasn't played in awhile. He starts singing with her and slowly the four daughters and grandfather come down the stairs and sit in the living room. No words are exchanged and yet everyone is happy again. The mother and father singing brings them together. You get a really strong sense of the family bond and it's quite nice.
This morning Vanessa prepared a delicious breakfast of eggs, mushrooms, spinach, veggie sausage, toast and my favorite breakfast drink: water with apple cider vinegar. I love the combo of vinegar and salty eggs. Now we are listening to Christmas songs on the radio and Vanessa is finishing up some Christmas presents and I am exporting a new music video for Pepi Ginsberg. We shot the video last August when we were bro-hanging in the mountains of Highlands, NC. The song is "Lost River" and appears on her wonderful new album "East is East" which will be coming out soon on Park the Van records. If you're a fan of good tunes you will dig it!
