A great suggestion
A wise friend writes:
it's a pleasure to be sitting down and writing to you all again. it seems clear to every newspaper reading person i know that we are living in dark days. i'm always trying to explain why i'm so interested in all-ages music. i know that that music brings people together and any time we gather to sing and dance with each other inspiring things happen. spirits are rejuvenated, a feeling of community is created, hearts are filled with a sense of life's possibilities and, of course, everyone has fun. tired of the divisive political climate? break into song at the drop of a hat! now's a good time.

raindrops on roses and
whiskers on kittens
bright colored tea cups and
warm, woolen mittens...

Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.

What a Wonderful World
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Dan Zanes is awesome. I like to sing
Linger For Awhile...
cars on the expressway
sound a little bit like the sea
and all those jump rope jumper's rhymes
sound like the beatles to me
well someday we'll cross the ocean
maybe sail ten thousand miles
but tonight we're in the neighborhood
aw, can you linger for a while?
linger for a while
linger for a while
tonight we're in the neighborhood
can you linger for a while?
