In honor of Mother’s Day, our May song is a reworking of the age-old Rock-a-Bye Baby. I’ve always felt the traditional version lacked the comfort of a lullaby, with the baby falling out of the tree and all. So here’s an adaptation that sings about the manifestations of unconditional mother love and safety available to us in every moment, no matter who or where or how we are. It’s called Rock-a-Bye, and is a song for the mother — and the child — in each of us. Dream on!

Free gift idea – You’ll receive an email for each download request. Forward the download link to a loved one, along with a special note.

Charity & the JAMband have one more great freebie for you.  You can download I’m a Little Bunny.  Enjoy this springtime song with your little ones.  Jump, hop, laugh, and dance while you pretend to be a bunny.

While you’re at the JAMband site, take a few minutes to listen to more music.  My favorite still remains Peanut Butter and Jam.  From the mouth of my 3-year-old, “This music makes me happy!”.

Enjoy!

Remedy is a current favorite in our car.  A few of my favorites are The Glory of It All, Remedy, and Surely We Can Change.  Of course, my kids really like to dance and move to Can You Feel It?.

Thanks to the Crowderband for the tip.  Image from Amazon.

Did you know that 97% of music downloaded on the internet is stolen???  That’s insane!  Don’t people have a conscious anymore?  It’s not our music and we’re not entitled to it.  I think that pirating music has become so common that we are numb to the facts that it is illegal.   

Spiral Frog is the new online place to download audio and video content LEGALLY for free.  The site is funded with advertising.  With Spiral Frog you won’t have to worry about downloading files contaminated with spyware and viruses.
