Remembering the pediatrician when ny son was little sharing I should play classical music for him and I instead played Coltrane and Ellington. And how now my son is a gifted jazz musician and plays in his highschool jazz band. She also said to read to him at bedtime nightly and I would read passages from James Baldwin . He is an award winning writer now. Raising my son to be an artist was very intentional. I crafted it as soon as I found out I was pregnant.
