I cannot express to you the amount of joy I feel when my daughter, Lauson joins me in the studio. She first joined me when she was 7, now she's getting close to 17, and she's more lovely, funny, creative, and charismatic than ever. And her taste in music is as exciting as ever. I'm glad she's still into the Beatles, but the fact that she's turning me on to great music tells me I'm raising her right!

We kept the banter to a minimum, but the chat is as lively as the music. I tagged her choices with an "L". 

Many people have asked me how she got her name? About 3-4 years before she was conceived, I had a dream where I was sitting in the back seat, passenger side, of my 1984 burgundy Olds Cutless Supreme. There was a seven year old girl in the front passenger seat, turned around looking at me. She had wild curly in the dream. I asked her name, and she said "Lauson. L.A.U.S.O.N.". She then appeared next to me on my left, with my arm around her. She was smiling at me, and I knew at that moment I was looking at my daughter.

I woke up and looked at my wife (now my ex-wife), and said "we're going to have a daughter named Lauson, L.A.U.S.O.N.". She replied "we're having kids?". That tells you all you need to know about my ex-wife. A few years later Lauson was born. We chose not to know the sex of the baby before delivery, but I knew it was going to be Lauson. Seven years later, it was that same face, that same curly hair, and that same beautiful smile that I cannot get enough of.

Her mother and I divorced when she was only two, sadly. And for too many years Lauson had to go back and forth between houses. But she has been with me, 100% for the past three. We're thick as thieves, she and I. I love that girl from the bottom of my heart. And I am so proud of who she is, heading into her senior year of high school. Time certainly does fly by. 

Luckily I have every show Lauson has joined me on. You can access each of them by clicking on the links below. Check out the playlists to see how her interests have evolved.
