DADDY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE: Here is an adaptation of the old song 'BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE'. It's the story of a Father and Son who are talking about going out to play in the snow. The Father wants to go, but the son just wants to stay indoors. It's priceless. Here is a where you can hear the song for free: DADDY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE http://www.ajandtheflipflops.com/daddy-its-cold-outside-free-download. When I first heard the song on the radio I thought that maybe they used a vocoder to change the second voice to make it sound like a four year old. But no, it is actually sung by a four year old! Hear is a video of the songwriter and his son singing the first part of the song live! Zowee! DADDY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE VIDEO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCYRApfRl0s

MUSIC JOKE: A CAT is on an airplane going to visit the big city of New York at Christmas time. He had just spent ten days on the sandy beaches of Cancun, Mexico.

PEACE QUOTE: Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a mustache: You won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you.
Ajahn Chah (Reflections)

Bye for Now!

PAST STUDENTS: Will try to keep in touch with the singers and past students. It is so great to hear about what they do as they get older. Went to a social function last week. A man came up to me and said, "You probably don't remember me or my son. But, he went through your program back in the mid-eighties. You did something right, he was motivated to keep studying music and is now a sound engineer at Brian Adams' studio in Vancouver." I love hearing these stories. I should somehow keep track and keep a record. If you have more, please send them to me.

Wishing everyone peace in their hearts, joy in their lives.

PICS FROM KIDS. Send a musical drawing for Mr. I to scan and put on the website. I find these quite uplifting.

PEACE: It is apparent that the world needs more peace songs. Please keep peace in your heart during these tense times. The new Mr. I CD in planning stages requires more peace songs. If you have ideas you would like to contribute please let me know.
