There is nothing like the voice of a child

After composing and recording about 20 songs, we launched the website for Musical Greetings and sat back to see whether anyone would actually order one of the songs. To our amazement, someone did right away. Guess which song?

Our 3 year old son, Spencer, had been watching all of the recording we were doing and wanted in on the action. So, I recorded him singing "his song", which he made up on the spot. He wanted to do a mother's day song, because he heard me doing a mother's day song. I thought it was cute, so I made some background orchestration to add to it and we posted it as one of our original mother's day songs.

And guess what? It was the very first order! Here it is (we apparently had done a wonderful job teaching him about what it means to appreciate your mother on mother's day, judging by the words to the song).

Lyrics:
Happy Mother's Day to the one that I love
My dad will pay you some money
Alright indeed
If you insist
I will give you my piggy bank
OK
