bootstraps (still inspired by music)

When I was watching my guilty pleasure, the TV show Parenthood, the closing to season 3 episode 4 played a wonderful song in the background while brothers Crosby and Adam fulfill a dream to opening a recording studio.  When you hear the song "FortyFive" you are instantly inspired and drawn both into the music and into the emotional drama of the scene.

I have not posted but only once on this site in the last year but my interest in music and my ongoing connection to it hasn't faded.  I grew up on music and I continue to have an ongoing emotional connection to songs, lyrics, melodies, rhythms and sound.  Music has impacted my family and is a daily part of our life.  When I was a kid, I attended the symphony concerts of my mom, a cello player and full time teacher and as a parent and adult, I listen to fun kids music and have dance parties in the living room of my 100 year old house with my husband and daughters.

When you hear not only FortyFive but the other tracks from Bootstraps album it is easy to see how the band was commissioned to write for soundtracks and how their emotional sound would be a wonderful background for any emotional scene on a show.  So, even though I don't know much about this band, just perused their website for the first time, I feel connected to their sound and would like to pass on a recommendation to check them out.

So, here is my endorsement, go check out their sound and feel here.
