Rock On

"Where words fail, music speaks."
— Hans Christian Andersen

Doodle celebrated her upcoming (in three days) 10th birthday today with six of her BFFs at a rock music school/recording studio. The girls each went home with a CD of the group's recording of Hillary Duff's Come Clean.

First the girls learned the instrumental part, broken down so that a virtual novice could play it. After they recorded the instrumentals (with 4 girls on guitar, 1 on keyboards, 1 on drums, and 1 on bass), they ate brownies and chocolate covered strawberries before going back in the studio to record the vocals.

The result was pretty impressive, with the studio employees ranking it among the very best of the ones they've done for birthday parties. If I can figure out how to post it here, I will. All of the dads on pickup duty were interested in having their own birthday party at this school/studio. It seemed like one of those middle aged male fantasies but this place seriously does rock.
