Motherhood In Hollywood

If you know anything about me by now it's that I like to switch things up in life, and on my podcast every now and then. So this week we are taking a departure from mom talk and exploring the world of jazz with my friend and professional vibraphonist Lolly Allen. Watching Lolly play the vibraphone is exciting. She really gets into it with arms flailing, and mallets flying. I used to play the xylophone in high school and yes, that is as cool as it sounds.  Lolly also shares how playing with musical instruments as a child influenced her career choices. See?
