Rubber Duckie is back by popular demand. The challenge of this is to match the uncle’s OCD with the nephew’s short - attention span. Even though the CDs I give him are as austere as can be (just the title written in sharpie), my sister says he recognizes each one. The two country ones for doowadette that I made a copy for him are referred to as “Johnny” and Family Tradition 1 is “D” and this one is “Ernie”. Not bad for a boy who turned 2 this week…

Thanks to Johnny Dark for his “Emu” contribution while searching for the definitive version of Kookaburra (never quite found), thanks to RetroJoe for the many versions of Puff (sorry I went back to the original, thanks to Brother Funky and many others of you for that as well), thanks to doowadette for the Buffalo Gals, and to Bob for the Rolf Harris. Rainbow Connection is by request of my sister (who I’m not sure will be happy with Maxwell Silver Hammer since according to my daughter, she was not happy with Bungalow Bill, but I know it is one of his dad’s favorite Beatles tunes).
