Comment:

I made this mix 20 months ago based on a few requests (tracks 11, 16, 18, 20, & 24) made by Elizabeth (a work mate) for her daugher Sara. I told her I already had some ideas for other songs and that I'd try to fill up a CD for her daughter to hear. This was the result. Sara was in pre-school at the time this was made (but very advanced for her age).

I bet Sara loved it!
Sh Boom & Donovan & the One Note Samba strike the right note.

Track 27 jogged an old memory! First, I think the song is insipid but, more importantly, the 1910 Fruitgum Company actually ran into me with their tour van in the 70s, causing me a flat tire and crunched fender. Simon says, look when you change lanes!
