ANIMAL SONGS

I just got back from Albuquergque, where we visited the zoo, the aquarium, a rattlesnake museum, and hiked up a moutain where ther were very strange paw prints that grnadson Jack swore must have been a chupacabra.  So for much of the week I was humming some familar aninal songs, many of which we sand to our children when they were very young.

  2. I'll second your welcome-back! Amused I've heard about a third of these recordings, and a little more than half the songs from one artist or another over the years...
