Time sure does fly by. Here are some songs by the grandkids when they first were learning to play instruments. 2 and 4 year olds banging out the percussion instruments and ukuleles and guitars strumming wildly, but always beautiful voices. It was some of my best days ever teaching them how to make music and playing and singing together. Now half of the grandkids are out of state and the ones nearby are getting older and have jobs and other activities. Their voices have changed and deepened. And the richness of their voices is something special to hear.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/susan-engstr-mcauliffe/message

Minnesota...you are my home. Minnesota Nights            by Susan McAuliffe Been up to the mountains, walked down by the sea Home is where I put my heart, the place I choose to be Sometimes my life’s been lonely, but it taught me how to cry Now I’m lying ‘neath the Northern Lights of a Minnesota night. The moon shines down on the lake tonight, the loon calls out her plea The pine trees tall in the forest deep, have set my heart free Sometimes my life gets crazy, but I’ve always gotten by Standing ‘neath the Northern Lights of sa Minnesota Night The lone wolf howls in the darkness, trying to find its way Walks beneath the Northern Lights into that promised day I’ll reach my destination, just keep looking to the sky Walking ‘neath the Northern Lights of a Minnesota night. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/susan-engstr-mcauliffe/message
