About six years ago, when my daughter was about eleven and just beginning to gain an teenage interest in music, she (like most of her generation who will now "deny, deny, deny") she would enjoy listening to the music stylings of the initial version of Brittany Spears.
In an effort to expand her musical horizons (I know, I know--even at such a young age!) I set out for the local music shop to comb the aisles for something appropriate, and came acorss the neo-blugrass-country-ish sound of Nickel Creek. For her birthday that year I bought her a copy of This Side with hopes that she would learn to enjoy it.Truth is, she did learn (I think) to appreciate it, but quickly grew away from accepting my paternal influence on her musical taste. This is the norm (I suppose), but last week while cleaning out her room (she spends the majority of her time at her mother's now) I came across the CD among some of her things, along with the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack and an old Backstreet Boys CD.
The instrumental piece above, Smoothie Song, is the first cut on the CD, and the most "bluegrassy" of the record. It harkens back to Nickel Creek's more traditional musical roots, and who among us with children doesn't do the same as we watch them grow up?

beautiful music. great for chilling. and i admire the way u want to instill in your daughter to learn to love a particular type of music.
the video is nice. i envy these music minded guys. i can play the guitar moderately but am a frustrated violinist.

Oh, you're so like my hubby, trying to influence our kids to like songs other than what is just "out there" so to speak... :D
I agree with Rozella, this track is awesome... :D I hope someday my kids do learn to appreciate all kinds of music, regardless of genre and time.. :D
