Since Thanksgiving is coming up, here's a song that starts out on the Mayflower, becomes extremely silly, and then goes in time back to the discovery of America. "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" , Bob Dylan From the album Bringing It All Back Home Written by Bob Dylan, 1965 "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" lyrics Bob Dylan is one of the greatest songwriters ever. Most of his songs are very serious, but this one is so absurd, you wish he wrote more like it. [...]
A few weeks ago my family and I went to Honolulu, Hawaii. I had to go for work because we were holding a special meeting there, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to take my wife and daughter to an island paradise. Since none of us had ever been to Hawaii, that's exactly what we did! Here are a few songs to give you the feel of what we experienced in Hawaii. "Holiday In Waikiki" , The Kinks From the album Face to Face Written by R. [...]

Now that we are safely wrapped in the arms of autumn, it's time for one of our favorite songs by our favorite group, the Kinks. It's such a perfect song for the fall, we are going to let it stand by itself. "Autumn Almanac" by the Kinks From the compilation The Kink Kronikles Written by Ray Davies, 1967 "Autumn Almanac" lyrics Keep in mind that the Kinks are from England, so when they mention football, they really mean soccer. Also, Blackpool is a [...]
You may have noticed that a few songs from our last post included some nursery rhymes in their lyrics. This time we continue that theme, with several songs crafted almost entirely out of nursery rhymes. "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" by Chick Webb & his Orchestra with Ella Fitzgerald From the compilation Ella Fitzgerald Golden Greats "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" lyrics Ella Fitzgerald was a professional singer for over sixty years, and was one of the greatest jazz singers ever. She was originally discovered at an Amateur [...]
Ok so we're a little late on this one, but hey, welcome back to school!!! What do you think, is this going to be a great year, or what? "We're Going To Be Friends" by The White Stripes From the album White Blood Cells "We're Going To Be Friends" lyrics This is a fun song describing the excitement a new school year and new friends can bring. If you ask us, every family should listen to the White Stripes, often. [...]
It's only fitting that this site begins today, since September 21st has proven to be a day when great things happen; not that many years ago, my daughter was born on this date. Ever since, she has been a shining light in my life and a source of constant inspiration and amazement. I have always truly loved music, but with her arrival I began to listen in a new way, trying to figure out what I could play to help develop her own love of music. I realized that there was no need to rush out and get any "children's [...]
