I don't know about you, but I've been completely hooked by the new television show "Glee" on Fox at 9:00 pm on Wednesdays:-)  My husband, 16 yr old son and I have begun watching it faithfully ~ not only is a great show, but it is a new way to connect with a young man who is growing and changing everyday.

If you don't know anything about the show, it is set in a high school and centers around a teacher who is working at resurrecting the show choir out of a small group of misfits (with amazing musical talents!).  My husband teaches at a high school where he also directs the theater program.  I grew up singing in choirs and in high school sang in the "Swing Choir" (like a show choir, but more jazz oriented).  Now my world revolves around singing (or helping others sing) every chance I get!  Teaching Music Together^®, singing at my church, leading choirs in various capacities, singing with my girlfriends Jessica and Shelley as the Music Makin' Mamas... Lot's of reasons why this show would click with us.  My son, while he can sing, chooses not to unless he is in the privacy of his own room.  He is however developing excellent taste in music:-)  For the last several years, he would put something on for me in the car and then look to see my reaction, sure that I would hate it and tell him to turn it down or off.  Much to his surprise, I generally like much of what he shares with me.  Sometimes I even ask him to load it onto my iPod!

 "Glee" presents a world we can share - excellent, really funny writing, fabulous music, both a capella and not, and a high school world the three of us can each understand and enter into in our own way.  

The fact that it gives us an excuse to hang out together for an hour in the middle of our crazy weeks is a bonus gift ~ Music connects ~ I feel such Glee!
