Hi Lindsay,
Good to hear from you and know you San Diegans (Hi Criag, too are faithfully
lurking ;-)

L.A.? I mean they've got the Getty any >everything. No problem.
So far the talk has been for "Voices" to maybe tour a few more Canadian
venues, but it's confirmed that the paintings are on their way back to L.A.
now so hopefully Joni will put them up here soon before they ship out again!
I think the perfect place for an L.A. exhibition would be MOCA, which is the
perfect size for it and which has revolving exhibits and...it's *right*
across the street from me so we could make an easy party at my place, heehee
;-D
I think Bob's and Jimmy's recommendations are great for the kids' music.
Before I even finished your post I also thought of Stevie Wonder and
Debussy. I would recommend Stevie's Original Musiquarium, which is a
selection of some of his best from the 60s to the early 80s. My parents
exposed me to a few of the classic composers when I was about 4 years old
but the one that I preferred was Debussy, whose music I used to plunk out on
a little keyboard with an easy music book that used "1, 2, 3's" instead of
C, D, E, F, G's. The Debussy connection probably set the groundwork for my
future affinity for JM. I would also highly recommend playing them some of
what I consider some of the classic composers of the 20th century - such as
Samuel Barber, George Gershwin and Irving Berlin. The music is so
beautiful, goes straight into the heart and is, in my opinion, more
accessible than some of the "older" classicists.
