Haircut 100
You thought I was joking about my 6-year-old giving me a haircut? How's it look?
Wahl shaver, #3 guard, and crossed fingers (on my part)... He did a good job!
Speaking of haircuts, I've been having fun lately going through favorite old songs from the 80's and making playlists for the kids. There's something about those simple new wave and pop tunes that are instantly appealing to young ears.
Especially the British band Haircut 100. They produced one memorable album in 1982. It's a breezy concoction of lite-funk and jazzy new wave pop that is perfect for a family drive on a warm sunny day. My kids groove to songs like "Love Plus One," "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)" and this one:

For my 2 yr old, ANY 80's "various artists" cd will beat the Wiggles, hands down. It also helps that I sing along, and make it fun for him too.

If you haven't heard it, the talent behind Haircut 100--Nick Heyward--had quite a successful post-group career in England. His album "North of a Miracle" has several songs intended for a H100 album, and a jewel called "Whistle Down the Wind". You gotta hear it!
