When my son was a tottler in 1990's. We had a VHS tape that got played a ton. John Lithgow playing a guitar, singing to children. I had a rooster, and my rooster pleased me. I fed my rooster by the green apple tree....I know he will never see this post. I just wanted to send a thank you John for the hours of entertainment youve provided.

It's more than confidence. People who sing live on average 20 years longer than people who don't. Studying music improves brain function and math skills. Visual arts improve problem solving skills and attention to detail. Societies need their artists to develop and express their collective identities and values. That is why, in a fascist coup, artists are among the first to be jailed or killed. The arts aren't superfluous to education. They are foundational to it. They are not something to keep children occupied but something to keep people of all ages human. We are all made in the image of a creative God.

My favorite early film he ever did, which is now nowhere to be found, was At Play in the Fields of the Lord. A fantastic, deeply cultural, emotional film that examines bias of race, religion, colonization, and is a beautifully filmed work in the Amazon, based on Peter Mathiesen's book, with a stellar cast of fantastic actors.
