Trout Fishing in America delivers

I want to thank the Northeast Louisiana Children’s Museum for hosting such a wonderful event recently.

When I was about 8 years old, my mom took me to Forsythe Park to hear Trout Fishing in America perform. I have vivid memories of hearing the group perform their odd, funny and captivating songs. They are not only extremely talented musically, but they know how to keep children’s attention for a solid hour or more.

Recently, I had the privilege of taking my 2-year-old daughter to see the four-time Grammy nominees perform again. I was a little hesitant to take her because of her age, but I was pleasantly surprised. To see the look on the children’s faces and hear them engaged and singing along was heartwarming.

Even as I looked around at the parent’s faces, I noticed that everyone was smiling. You couldn’t help but have a great time. Thanks again to the Children’s Museum for hosting such a wonderful event!
