At 80 years old I am surely allowed to reminisce.

I wrote this song when I was 16. I sent it, recorded with my voice and a piano, to a famous crooner at the time called Val Doonican. It was rejected. Awwww.

I have added a mid section and, because my voice is shot, I have used an AI vocal. Not perfect, but better than mine.

There … I feel better now.

Three songs for younger listeners, with a brief chat in between.

LISTEN HERE, about sounds children can make.

SOMETHING I CAN DO, about runnning, jumping etc. Mention is made briefly in the intro chat about children who are disabled and may not be able to do these things. Good for discussion with your children afterwards.

BITS OF ME AND YOU, functions of teeth, tongue, toes, and a mention of skeletons!

This is the first of several episodes about Aesop's Fables. 

After a short musical introduction you will hear our version of the story followed by a song of the story.

It is aimed at 6 to 8 year olds, but we are quite sure that children either side of those ages will also enjoy it.

Dave Corbett is a retired teacher and musician/composer with many publications under his belt; BBC radio, TV, music schemes for primary schools, and sales of Christmas musicals, (nativity and Santa) to primary schools. You can hear his musicals at musiclinedirect.com

More Aesop to come, plus other songs and stories for all children of primary age, oh ...and a half hour Christmas special. Watch out for it. WHO?

We hope you enjoy this material and that you will tell your friends about the podcasts.
