the silverton

For those who would like to sing-a-long with Luke:

[falsetto] The Silverton shoveling coal .... hear the whistle blow ...

She was born one summer like in 18 and 80 and 1
She was a beautiful daughter of the D&RG
and she weighed about a thousand ton
It was 45 miles through the Animus Canyon
so they set her on a narrow gauge
She drank a whole lot of water and she ate a lot of coal
and they called her the Silverton
The Silverton train!

heart of gold

An oldie but goodie. This is a video clip taken by Nana at Thanksgiving last year, during Luke's "world tour" cover of Neil Young's "Heart of Gold."

fee-fie-n-g-o

We are thoroughly enjoying Pop-Pop and Nana's visit, and I'm excited that we still have a full week to go! Here's a little snippet from last night. Luke treated us to a serenade of a new song he learned at school:

There was a farmer had a dog
And Bingo was his name-o
Fee-Fie-N-G-O
Fee-Fie-N-G-O
Fee-Fie-N-G-O
And Bingo was his name-o!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Luke's rendition of "No Woman No Cry." Impossibly adorable.

luke's lullaby mix

Luke has my old iPod in his room, with a variety of custom mixes. Here is his long-standing lullaby list, which we love to sing at night:

baby don't you cry (the pie song), from the movie "waitress"
have a little faith in me, john hiatt
call me papa, donavon frankenreiter
somewhere over the rainbow, israel kamakawiwo'ole
i will remember you, sarah mclaughlan
muskrat love, america
happy everafter in your eyes, ben harper
the sweetest gift, sade
