As a Father's Day present to my wonderful brother Mike Heaney, here is the officially published podcast that his kids Cora and Seamus recorded with me a few months ago.  We even dive into a little childhood memory I have of learning to play guitar at the same time when my brother and I were young.  Ahhh memories!

This conversation gets WILD and ping pongs around to hundreds of different topics.  The kids and I talk music, creativity, Taylor Swift, neurodivergence, a need for more RECESS in school, and managing emotions, among other topics.

Cora Heaney is a dancer, a singer, and an all-around marvelous young lady.  We do a quick song analysis of her favorite song to sing and also do a sing-a-long to the track, and talk about creativity.  I think she's 11 years old or so by now ;-)  Cora is not the biggest fan of school and I ask her why and get a very wise answer.

Seamus Heaney is 13 or something and he plays the flute.  He's also quite a smart guy who loves school.  My nephew and I love to play music together, particularly improvised tunes based around the B flat major scale.  Seamus educates me on what it means to be the main character, as well as giving me a little window into life as a middle-schooler.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this conversation involving music that I had with my niece and nephew.  It was so fun to do that we might even make it a series.  I know for a fact that Cora wants to come back on SOON.
