Ah how I long for the days of heading out for SXSW with no agenda. Just the goal to check out some new bands, drink beer and get free swag. Actually, I AM looking forward to SXSW this year but for very different reasons. My son is about to turn 2 and I can see that his interest in music is growing.  Our days are filled with silly made up songs, jamming out to the radio in the car or putting on our favorite records and dancing around the living room.
