We've been watching the "old" Star Wars movies, enjoying the cheap rental rates at a video store that came to our area recently. Usually we watch them after the kids go to bed (almost like a date), but yesterday morning I was watching the end of the last one which we had started the night before. The kids were just playing, not paying any attention to the movie (since it's not animated or little kids singing). But when the Star Wars Theme Song came on with the credits their heads came up, and NB watched through almost all the credits, just listening to the music.
For those who don't know, that theme song is a thrilling piece, written by John Williams, a musical genius of the 20th century (he also wrote the theme for Indiana Jones). I remembered that the boys did the same thing with a few other movies with good music---Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, to name a few. I thought 'They must have great taste in music!'. Then I remembered how NB liked hearing an electric guitar being played at the music store, and how he wil bop his head whenever he hears rock-like music played...Well, maybe they just like music, period.
