Considering everything, 2020 was a great year for us!
Thankful for the many milestones that we reached, and especially Mae starting school. My love Amilee learnt to bake and cook many different kinds of food, to play the ukelele and chords on the piano.
As for me, I also learnt to play the piano from scratch, however I can already read music notes because I already know how to play the alto saxophone. I also wrote many books this year.
Maeleth improved in her dancing, art, reading, writing, math and also learnt to play the piano. ❤️

While the world was suffering from sickness and financial loss, we were protected and actually earned more in 2020 than in 2019, all while being more restful.
We are also fitter than ever before thanks to doing simple workouts regularly at home.
Even though we were confined at home more and having to wear masks whenever we go out, we were still able to make progress all thanks to God’s grace. 🙌

Looking forward to a fantastic 2021, and we are praying that you will have a very good year ahead too. May you have great joy to compensate for every heartbreak you faced last year. Happy new year!! 👍

Langston Hughes’ First Book of Jazz (1955)
Illustrations by Cliff Roberts
‘ FOR LANGSTON HUGHES'S THIRD ENTRY in the First Books series, he turned his attention to a subject that was of great importance to him: jazz. It was the first children's book to examine the "American music," and Hughes felt the responsibility. As he wrote in a letter to Arna Bontemps, "what I really know about Jazz would fill a thimble!," and so he made sure that the text was reviewed by Dave Martin, Marshall Stearns, John Hammond, and other jazz experts. To his editor Helen Hoke, he confessed that The First Book of Jazz was "just about the toughest little job I've ever done."
THE BOOK OPENS WITH LOUIS ARMSTRONG who becomes the lens through which the history of jazz is revealed. Little Louis grew up in New Orleans, a town where everyone played music, often spontaneously and with abandon. "To the players, it is play--just for fun. That is how the music called jazz began--with people playing for fun."
Throughout the book, Hughes truthfully highlights African-Americans' role in the development of jazz music.
"A part of American music is jazz, born in the South. Woven into it in the Deep South were the rhythms of African drums that today make jazz music different from any other music in the world. Nobody else ever made jazz before we did. Jazz is American music."
Despite the patriotic tone, the particular Americans in question are undeniably black. In a photo spread of "Great Jazz Pianists" African-American musicians outnumber white seven to three. (The men to women ratio is seven to three as well, interestingly.) Even when Hughes covers the vast array of American styles that went into jazz, they tend to be (as they should be) black interpretations of each musical form.
Louis Armstrong's life story then kicks back in, because as Hughes states, "The story of Louis Armstrong is almost the whole story of orchestral jazz in America." Through Amrstrong, Hughes can move the story from New Orleans to Chicago to New York City to the world.
With the history done, Hughes then discusses the mechanics of jazz: improvisation, syncopation, percussion, rhythm, blue notes, tone color, harmony, break, riff, and continuing his theme ("It was not just playing music. It was playing--like a game--with music, for fun.") the joy of playing.
At the end of the book, Hughes provides three appendices that are of interest to any jazz fan: "Famous Jazz Musicians," "Suggested Records for Study (Part 1, Part 2)," and "100 of My Favorite Recordings (Part 1, Part 2)." – Ariel Winter
