Ladysmith Black Mambazo

We saw these guys at Jesse Auditorium on Tuesday. I bought the CD in the lobby and now Peyton falls asleep to it every night--it's way better than the fisher price lullaby CD we used to use. Even the sad songs they sing are pretty enough you forget they're about sad things. LBM put on a show for 4th and 5th grade school kids the day after their concert that Mason got to go to, so he was able to see the show twice, once on the state's dime, and he liked it both times. Imagine, Mason enjoyed being exposed to new and different cultural things--what's next, a request for broccoli at dinner? If you get the chance and are bored at work, search You Tube for LBM and listen to some of their work. They don't need Paul Simon, he needs them!
