As I spend some valuable family time with my 8 month old daugther we watch some of the classic PBS & Modern Disney Children TV Programing. I find some of it good and we watch several shows daily but I am not fond of a child watching 8 hours a day of the Slime on TV. I just do not want to set a president where 8 hour TV viewing becomes normal. I want her to be diversified in interests. She loves to dance with me from Frank Zappa & Frank Sinatra, go to parks and museums & listen to me read books to her.<br><br>The reason for mentioning this is there is this neat video Hello Hello by Dan Zane. It is so late 60s, early 70's you can only think of those Yellow Smile Stickers that were ever prevelant back in 69' & 70' done in modern Alabama Hippie way.<br><br>There is a Book <br>Listen to this one review from a Amazon customer<br><br>**** Best children's book/cd available!, August 10, 2005<br>John Strickland Jr. (Central PA)<br><br>As a new parent, I was convinced that I was going to have to either listen to really bad baby music or start our daughter on a menu of carefully selected music from my own cd collection. Then we received a tip about Dan Zanes. We ordered 'Hello, Hello,' and now we can't get enough of him. Our daughter loves waking up to 'Hello, Hello' (we play it every morning and dance around her bedroom), and we read the book and look at Donald Saff's amazing illistrations at reading time. It's progressive, multicultural, educational, and just plain fun! It's hard to charachterize his folk/americana/international/historic/fun style. Now 'Hello, Hello' is our standard new baby gift. We've given 5 as presents and our freinds thank us every time for turning them on to Dan Zanes. We now own all of his family cds and have orders in for his new book and dvd. Next to diapers, this may be the best baby item to buy!<br><br>I'd love to see a Zappa product in this format but with a whole different Twist.<br><br>SIT DOWN SIT DOWN SIT DOWN<br><br>Show Illistrations in the book on Zappa Folclore on why it is relevant to Sit Down And Play The Guitar or Sit Down And Enjoy The Show.<br><br>Some cool Frank Zappa Guitar Solos SITTING DOWN.<br>Alien Orifice (Palladium Hallowen 81') <br>St. Etienne(Europe 82')....<br><br>Also where Frank Speaks to the Audience about Sitting Down <br><br>Stink Foot - Make A Jazz Noise Here<br><br>FZ: Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you! Alright, alright, alright! Sit down, sit down, sit down! Okay. Alright, let's get down to business, just wanna let you know, in case you-- you'd be blind not to notice this, but we are registering people to vote here. Think we did four hundred last night, and hope to exceed that this evening. But meanwhile, did everybody hear the great news today? Jimmy Swaggart under investigation! . . . Oh, Jay-ZUS! One day every one of those cock-suckers'll get caught! Now I understand in the case of Mr. Swaggart that he claims that it was not multiple encounters with many prostitutes. Apparently only one sweet young thing, and he did tell Cal Thomas of the Moral Majority that the sex act itself was not fully consummated. However he did admit to doing something pornographic with the girl. Let's use our imaginations, ladies and gentlemen . . . <br><br>The Little House I Used To Live In - Burnt Weeny Sandwitch<br><br>FZ: Thank you, good night . . .
