My hamper floweth over

One of the women I work with loves to find fun music for kids that doesn't make adult ears bleed. I have been a fan of Trout Fishing in America and TMBG kids cds for awhile,and I am always up for something new and NOT Dora. Max is still convinced that the Wiggles are the best, and doesn't show much interest in anything else, but if I have to hear Hot Potato one more time, I may shove a few hot potatoes in a few Wiggles. That's right, I'll wake up Jeff...

I was browsing through children's music and found this site which turns music we grew up with into lullabies. What a fun idea! You can listen to samples on their website, and while at first it might seem a little wrong to listen to "head Like a Hole" on a glockenspiel, it grows on you. Just another idea that cold have/should have been my million dollars...

A few CD's I like are "For the Kids" (there's a part II, but I don't have that one)and "A World of Happiness"- both are contemporary artists doing kids songs (some new, some old), Jim Gill (his songs are funny, I think), and Jerry Garcia has an album called "Not For Kids Only"- folky stuff, but really great... I check out all the childrens music from the library and burn what I like (don't tell!!) Elena

Elena, i have heard the Jerry Garcia album, and like it, and I have heard the for kids 2, but not the first one, I like the second one though, I will habve to check out Jim Gill. I listen to the cds my coworker burns from the cds she checks out from the library, and then I download them from limewire. Maybe we can be cellmates...

lullabys by Metallica - that might be the coolest thing I've ever heard of!

I think I'd like a Rockabye Baby Pearl Jam, please.

But seriously, I am in the process of blogging a bunch of my favorite things and one of them is my kids' Raffi CD's. I love that guy. One of the very few that don't make me feel homicidal.

My kids like for me to sing Phish songs to them at bedtime. Oh wait, Jamie does too.
