It's that time of the year again... The neighbors will get inundated with JC Superstar songs for days. Mom and I will burst into song at the oddest times. I'll either be Jesus or Judas... then Mary Magdalene then Peter. We know all the lyrics to EVERY SINGLE song.I saw the movie while still a child and promptly fell in love with it. It's the BEST movie musical, bar none.
I'm going to call my Tita Fifi and ask her to come over so we can sing together. Now she can sing. Perfect pitch too. I love my mom's side of the family. Everybody's into music one way or the other.
Most of the guy cousins play an instrument or two. Jeff plays the drums - better than most professional drummers. Seriously. Jimboy, Chet, Jojo all play guitar. My brother sings and plays a little guitar too. They even had a band when they were knotheaded teenagers. So adorable. The girl cousins either sing, play the piano and guitar or dance.
My uncles can all play the guitar like pros. My aunts are pretty musical too. My mom is a mean alto. Tita Fi... well she's just the best. My Tita Merce can make you weep when she plays the piano. And those that don't play an instrument or sing... well, they can dance their hearts out.
And now... my kid plays the guitar quite well and getting better everyday. Heck, he doesn't strum... he plucks and darnit, I'm so proud I could burst! And the best part is... he loves JC Superstar too!
Now to go home and rock!
