Milo singing part of “Brand New Key” by Melanie Safka. A student of mine made an animation to this song as her final project and Milo saw me grading it…and now we sing it all the time.

Fire Trucks Going Faster

By

In the spirit of short, stripped-down punk rock songs, Milo and I penned this little number. Included in this post are the lyrics, if you want to try it out at home, and 2 video versions to give you a sense of the possibilities. It’s meant to be sung fast and loud! One note about Milo’s performance: what at first may seem like an homage to Jim Morrison (singing with his back to the crowd) is actually just him playing a pretend keyboard.

Stickball

Eye on the ball
Single!

We had a little impromptu stickball game a couple of weeks ago at the playground by the botanical gardens in Prospect Park. The bat was an actual stick Milo found. In the video Milo lets one go by for ball one and then drills one up the middle – nice hit!
