I'm showing off my youngest here. This is my daughter Lucy, 13, covering Meaghan Smith's "I Know". Big sister Madeline, 15, plays the violins. Our household is all fun and games.

I feel honored to be the FIRST, YIPEE, your daughter Lucy has a beautiful voice, I just love it Lucy, and Madeline keep up with that violin hah, enjoy your fun and games, because I love listening.

All the best for 2010.

Hugs Michele

GO GO KAUFMANS !

I wasnt's familiar with this song but it's really nice and you girls do a real cool job.
I'm impressed.
Hey Lucy...did I mention you rock and have a cool name too.

Wow Mark.

A chip off the old block.

Very beautiful voice. I am a stickler for diction and she has perfect diction.

I heard every syllable of every word.

You must be very proud of the both.

God Bless Roy

Great family you have there. I don't know this song, but it was a very enjoyable listen this early Sunday morning. Good singing and violin playing. Good job on the rest of the band!

Kevin

Hi Mark & Lucy,

Very cool, on everyone's part. What a wonderful beginning! Most important though, who is the great whistler?

Ricki

Kool Awesome Kaufman's !

You and your family should be very proud.

Please tell your daughter to keep it up and that she, and her sister, have the talent.

I could not find any 'nits' to speak of. Everything flowed smoothly.

Doug

Wow - lot's of cool stuff here, Mark. The coolest, of course, is Lucy's and Madeline's performances. Very nice!

Also a great song. I just assumed it was from back in the 40's or 50's and was amazed to find it is current. Great that they still write 'em like this and impressive that your daughters liked it enough to record it.

It's wonderful that you can share this activity with your family. By the way, anyone could pick Lucy out of a line-up as being your daughter.

Scott

Wow! What a beautiful voice! Lucy has LOTS of talent, and Madeline did a wonderful job on the violins. Lucy is a gorgeous girl too, the perfect mix of you and Teresa! You must be so proud, Mark!

Thanks Michele! Lucy doesn't even know this was posted yet--she's on a weekend school outing--but I'm sure both the girls will appreciate this. G'Day!

Thanks Calvin. It's actually a new song released in 2009 by Meaghan Smith. She's really good and writes a lot of retro songs.

Cheers! -mk

Lucy has much better diction than I do, Roy!

Thanks,

-Mark

Thanks Kev! Making music with my daughters is one of the most enjoyable things I've ever done. Lots of fun and lots of fatherly pride involved.

Haha, that was me...and I hate whistling. I wasn't going to do it because it always reminds me of Andy Griffith, but what the heck, it turned out OK.

Thanks!

Thanx Awesome Joices !

Mark.....you got a demo singer and a studio musician? How lucky
can one guy be. Her voice is so fresh. Tell both that they really got something to be proud of.


redwing

Thanks Doug! I know I feel proud, but, well, duh. I'm a Dad.

And Lucy is now reading these herself at home while I'm still at work. She just emailed me:

"wow.....i feel loved.....i don't know what to say...i was smiling the whole time i was reading it!"

So...yeah. Life is good.

Thanks Doug!

13 years old?
Sound like a woman.
Love the fluting and the warmt of the whole song.
Nice and jazzy.
Sounds like something from the 50'ties.
Very cool indeed.

Ken

This is great, Mark. Wow, what a voice Lucy has. Are you going to be OK with Lucy being a jazz singer later on?

Wow. Don't get here much these days, but sure glad I stopped by to listen to this impressive piece. (AND I have a new artist to check out as well. A two-for!) You guys are going to need a bigger house to hold all that talent. Too cool.

HiDee Mark & Family!

VERY Enjoyable to listen-to, Amigo! Lucy's got Great Pipes/"Hats-Off" to The Band! I especially-enjoyed your Whistlin', Mark...('cuz that's the ONLY "Instrument" I can handle!)

Lucy, ya sounded real Grown-Up, covering what I'm guessin's a 1930's Jazz Tune! Mady's Violin sounded Very Good (& I can ALWAYS hear a Bad One..heh!)..This Sure Beat MY Family's little Romps-Around-The-Piano in My Younger-Days!

CONGRATS to The Whole Family, Mark!
Best Wishes, Take a BOW, Gang, & Big Hugs to the Whole Bunch!
Stan

The Kaufman Family Singers have lots of potential! Look out Miley Cyrus.

Nice voice and delivery of a difficult song. Well done. Music too.

Hi Lucy,

You look so much like your Dad (that's a compliment). So glad you are interested in good music and keep at it. Singing is healthy for the heart and soul. Your father is a very talented man (don't tell him I said that, it'll be our little secret). Very nice vocals and ineresting song. Hope to hear more from you.

Best,
Lynn

Beautiful performance Lucy. You've got a lot of talent. Really enjoyed the listen. Thanks for posting Mark. I know you're proud of your girls and have a right to be.

Steve

Wow, what a pleasure and what a great talent coming from such a wonderful family, like father , like daughter, and that's good too Lucy..keep it up, you're really good my dear, and yes,Mark you must be so proud and reason to be..glyn

Couldn't agree more!

Seriously, I am proud...I mean, I'd be proud even if they sucked...but knowing they really are good at this and entertaining to listen to just makes me beam.

And Meaghan Smith is a marvelous writer. I love that she has embraced older genres and gets airplay on alternative pop stations...sure gives me hope!

Check this one out...another one written by her:

Meaghan Smith - "If You Asked Me"

Thanks Polly! Pretty like their Mom, Bizarro like their Dad.

I know! Thing is, I pay their room and board...fair tradeoff.

Thanks Redwing!

Thank you Ken! She's a bit rebellious though...I specifically instructed her NOT to grow up, but she keeps defying me. Kids these days.

Glad I checked this out! Clever lyrics and video. She is "different" in a very good way. I notice at present she has 12,455 views, I'm expecting that number to climb if people catch on to her and like to tune into good music. Don't know what to call this maybe jazz/swing but whatever it's really good and I enjoyed the whole package. I don't think I've ever seen that hairdo anywhere! I'm going to go look for the lyrics and post them here if I find them, they sounded delicious. !!

Only if she supports me! Thanks Wendy.

Thanks Rob, great to see you!

Hi Stan! Actually, this song is a new one...she wrote it for her grandpa. She gives hope for a Retro Guy like me. Thanks so much AmigoBro!

Funny thing to me is that Lucy brought this one to me! There is definitely hope for the future. Thanks Colin.

Here they are.....(lots of rhymes yum yum)

Lyrics:
Well I know that I should know better
Than to sit here by the phone waiting like a fool
And my mailbox never got those letters
That you promised would be coming my way soon
Well it’s a strange concept
With all the tears I’ve wept
That I would still accept
If you asked me

Well you show up when you want romancing
And I’m the perfect one to play the part
And I might be in your arms dancing
But I’m not the only one inside your heart
I know you’re not all mine
Cause I see your wandering eyes
Still I would not decline if you asked me

Everybody sees that love has made me blind
And everybody knows that I have lost my mind
And it may be true my heart may be askew
This love may be a ruse
I got everything to lose
But how can I refuse if you asked me

Well my love I can’t repress
So boy I must confess
What I wish you would request
And I aint gonna make you guess
So put me out of my distress
With or without you I’m a mess
And boy I would say yes
If you asked me

Let's hope she doesn't grow my big nose. Oh, and don't think I didn't hear you, Lynn Orloff! I have eyes in the front of my head.

Thanks Lynn.

Thanks Little Stevie! We appreciate that.

Thanks Glyn! Lucy and Maddy love reading this stuff. We definitely plan to do more projects, and write more songs together.

Cheers! Hope you're feeling better

-Mark

Yeah, I really like her. I think that hairstyle is sort of a 30's thing...didn't Claudette Cobert do something like that?

Mark,

That was wonderful! I love the genre and Lucy just kicks in the butt! She has a lilting, very warm voice. It was like listening to satin brush against silk...smooth & comfy!

because of time allotment, I've had to choose between commenting on the other forums or listening to others and commenting on their music. I've been reading the other forums for the past couple of weeks...catching up over there. But, I had a few extra minutes and clicked onto this one. what a treat!

Wear that "Daddy Pride" with a big smile! There's no other feeling like it. They both did a wonderful job. The violin was the catalyst that brought the b/g tracks together so nicely.

Great song, great performance, great joy for us listeners!

Alan

HEY AL!!! I know you like this kind of music so make sure you take the time to watch and listen to the link Mark has a couple posts up there in red, it's right up your alley and you'll love it. You won't want to miss it. It's called "If You Asked Me".

Lynn

Lynn,

Dang, you sure can shout loud! I did click onto the link and watch the video. I loved it. And yes...this is right up my alley!

Thank you for thinking if me...much appreciated!

Alan

Came back to listen again, this time with my 10 year old Emily. She liked it a lot and thinks Lucy is a good singer.

..ant

Thanks ant! Please tell Emily thank you too--Lucy will be glad to hear that.

Mark. this is really good and she has a very very nice voice!! good to hear this kind of music being done by the younger crowd:)

Thanks for sharing it with us!!

Kim:)

Lucy's got it! You know she's gonna become addicted like the rest of us now. Nice arrangement!

Best, John

Thanks Kim! And I'm sending bright positive beams of energy to your husband.

Thanks John! Yes, the die is cast...the Curse of Dad.

He's now got the kids in on it......what chance have we all got now...the girl can sing and has great taste in music...must be from her mothers side of the family.
