We love you, Philip Bailey.

Aside from the overall cuteness of the video (peep the phillip bailey "OWWWW!"), i think people are missing the point when they look at this youtube video. Every body and their momma is on some "oh that little girl is gonna be a STAR!" like this is star search or something.

the real poignant piece to this is the fact that at a young age, the little girl is learning how to appreciate good, authentic music. when i was growing up, my dad and i would listen to all of his earth wind and fire tapes in the car on the way to school or to the grocery store on sunday afternoons. it was then that i learned how to really listen to music.

this isn't about a little girl becoming the next American Idol winner or becoming the next alicia keys or any of that nonsense. This girl LOVES MUSIC, and has been taught to do such with a joy and a passion that i feel is lost in today's Laffy Taffy Generation.

THAT'S why these parents--whoever they are--are good parents.
