Hello friends, and Happy Tenor Tuesday! Though I seem to be spending much more of my time dadding these days, and not so much tenoring, I do still try to talk about music in some way each week. Today I thought I would use this space for some shameless musical self promotion. Apologies in advance. […]

My Real Name, and the Problems It Has Caused Me
Hello. My name is Adam Hall, and I am Tenor Dad. Phew. That is a load off! When I started writing this blog, it was mostly for my friends and family, but still I referred to myself as “Tenor Dad,” mostly because I thought it was funny to do so. Then, as my audience expanded […]
Please Don’t Give Me Up For Lent

The Stories We Don’t Tell
I tend to be fairly forthcoming and open on this site. In fact, I am often revealing far more than is comfortable or advisable, at least according to my wife and the internet. I share stories about my life, and my thoughts on the world as it affects and applies to my children, and my […]
I Don’t Know What I’m Talking About
Wow. I really wish I was slightly more transparent in my note taking. A little less vague. Way more specific. I have to write a post for today, but I can’t read any of my ideas. I am not very helpful to myself. You see, I write a lot of posts. Five days a week […]
The Debt I Owe to a Man I Will Probably Never Meet
There have been some changes these past few weeks over here at TenorDad.com, as I’m sure you have noticed. I’ve moved everything over to a self-hosted site, I’ve reorganized, the font is different, and hopefully the experience has improved for you. But I’ve also been doing some behind-the-scenes work to try and kick this endeavor […]
