Me

Today I am sad.
Tomorrow I will reread “The Parable of the Sower” by Octavia Butler.
Then in the coming days after that, I will figure out what’s next.
But today, I am very sad.

I turned on the DNC livestream at the perfect time - exactly when Lil Jon was hyping the crowd with “Turn Down for What”.

Yes please.

Check out the history "Hot Cross Buns". Learn the meaning behind the rhyme & about street cries. Finally, I explore the musical variants (American and British) & look at pre-band instrument method books of the 1930s-1960s. Let me know what you think! https://t.co/ygkWyRIDe6

@scratch Hi! I'm having difficulty logging into scratch . It keeps telling me something went wrong - is there an error in the system right now?

[Robin Giebelhausen @robingiebes]

Give yourself a treat and listen to this magic. https://t.co/h9tkPLG1zO

Related to my folk song project, I shared the songs that were composed by a known person rather than folk songs. These songs have been shared in many a series as "folk songs". However, when you know better, do better. And now I know things now. https://t.co/o835cPWJkD

@aksocolofsky @karg36 Congratulations!!!!

Recently I have an audience of two every time I use the restroom. I call it “holding court”.

Did you know that London Bridge is over 2000 years old (sort of)? So much history means interesting connections. Hopefully, you learn that London Bridge is not Tower Bridge. Plus the beginnings of London, art over the years, & London Bridge in Arizona. https://t.co/sa4tezbqUF

We are in our “why” phase. #ToddlerTime

Another folk song deep dive, but this time written by guest blogger, Jolene Blair! Jolene is an undergrad in music ed & worked on this as part of an independent study w/me this semester. There's some Scottish history, mythology, and a lot of creativity. https://t.co/HjEUU2nkZx

One twin has a hard time with the ssss sound in things like “outside” (outshide) and “slide” (shide).

Guess what “sit” sounds like?

[Robin Giebelhausen @robingiebes]

@mdthib Thank you!

[Robin Giebelhausen @robingiebes]

"Amazing Grace" is well documented, but I pondered its place in music curriculums as I navigated sources. I really enjoyed learning more about the song's origin, its cultural spread here, & how it came to be so ubiquitous. Let me know what you think! https://t.co/XZOqcCgIMF

@Komaniecki_R you might be living my dream

[Robin Giebelhausen @robingiebes]

The twinies are starting to hug each other (and it doesn’t devolve into biting).

On a completely unrelated note, there’s something in my eye.

[Robin Giebelhausen @robingiebes]

@Komaniecki_R Twin toddlers who never want to go in the same direction and I am not able to carry them everywhere = we have toddler backpacks with leads.

[Robin Giebelhausen @robingiebes]

@ethanhein @tawnuskgrevy yeeeeeesh. I adore Thile, but this was not good.

[Robin Giebelhausen @robingiebes]

Here’s a deep dive on “Looby Loo” - a song that appears to be squeaky clean! In this post, I talk about play parties, related songs, and two amazing folklorists: Alice Bertha Gomme and Edith Fowke. Let me know what you think! #folkmusic https://t.co/NUEv0xVz98
