ralph's world

Ralph rocks the Park West at what can only be assumed was an all ages show. Otherwise, that's some excellent fake ID action.

A few weekends ago (sorry for the delay in posting), Kenny went to his first rock concert. One of the kings of the kid's music circuit, Ralph's World, has become a stand-by in our house. Kenny usually picks between his Ralph's World CD or his dinosaurs CD each morning, so the songs are omnipresent around here. On the upside, Ralph was an aspiring rock star before he turned to the under eight set. What that means for us is that his songs are basically pop songs, with kid's lyrics. Catchy, melodic, and a lot more tolerable to repeated listenings. And by repeated, I mean around 16,552 plays and counting.

Kenny also loves watching the video for Ralph's song, "Abby's Alphabet Soup." It's popularity on the computer is only rivaled by Elmo's Potty Time song. So that's really saying something.

We had a good time at the show, but Kenny spent the majority of it just silently taking it all in. I think we expected more dancing and screaming, but he did have a good time nonetheless. Kenny even had me take him down to the dance floor for the final two or three songs. On the way home, he passed out with a smile on his face and Ralph's World songs ringing in his ears.


Kenny smiles about his first concert going experience.

Concerts still play second fiddle to playing with trains though.

Overboard laughs when Kenny asks where his backstage pass is.

Ralph invited the crowd onstage for the big finale. Kenny opted to watch from the floor. I don't think he wanted to share the spotlight.
