Lynn's CD's

We took care of our greatgrandson for a while when he was little.  Lynn made two CD's of songs we have liked over our lifetimes to play for him on long drives.  

I used to think that my mood was not much affected by music but I don't think that now.  I listened to the exciting final movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony while driving and for a while, I thought my exhiliration would lift me and the car into the sky.  I have been listening to Hallelujah by Mamuse and those two women nearly gave me an earworm. I had to work to stop it replaying in my mind over and over.

This morning, I wanted something strongly positive and I started playing those two CD's she made.  The first one includes

1. Swinging on a star

2. How much is that doggie in the window?

3. Day-o

4. The marvelous toy

5. The purple people eater

6. Jambalaya

7. Jump down

8. Mocking bird Hill

9. Don't fence me in

10. Jamaica farewell

11. Zip-a-dee doo dah

12. Heigh-ho

13. I wanna be like you
