Ah, to be young…
I heard a song the other day on a mix cd that really took me back to when i was a younger lad. A time when i had just started getting into music.
When I was a kid, I used to plop down in front of the tv like most kids. I’d eat my cereal and watch cartoons and PBS and be entranced by the vivid colors and music. I think that this early exposure to music really started my love of it at an early age. I mean…I got a drum-set at five, after all. Most of the shows I watched really focused on music and, of course, made me laugh. Some had the added bonus of making me learn something as well.
So, what I thought I’d do is post some of my favorite songs as a kid…though re-interpreted by new artists.
You can get all the tracks (and music guide) here: http://www.gigasize.com/get.php/-1100158292/KidMix.zip
