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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
