Kaley,
Just took as listen and think it's great! You are so talented with your acumen for writing lyrics to songs for the little ones. I think that that is a very special gift that few people enjoy. You have a wealth of talent in that arena.
Best of luck with this,
Alan

Know what kaley... I think you should scope out a set of songs and approach an animation studio with a complete idea for a story\musical .... I know you can.
Lots of good, warm, family values here.
Ciao
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

Kaley Willow, That's a pretty name , beats the daylights out of theguythat.. I like the song too. And on its own merits, I enjoy kids movies more often than the ones supposedly made for adults. I enjoyed the Dikens out of your song right down to my furry toes. Pete
Here we are wracking our brains today to write lyrics that rhyme and if we succeed, they'll end up in time as tommorrow's cliche's... Pete

Hi Kaley,
Just too darn adorable!! Really!! I felt all snuggly and cozy while reading it!
But I really do say COLD for Cold! Eastern PA. You must be from the western part of this wonderful state. Well, wonderful other than the archaic booze laws!!

I'm not a musician or a technician, but it just seemed the underlying melody moved along so fine without a glich, and in my spastic mind that would be impossible to do. As to why better, i don't have a good answer...but ya can't argue with success.... ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif)

Hi Calvin...thank you ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif) .... well..they're not always easy for me but this one was. Wyman and I are painstakingly going through A group of songs for what seems like the millionth time..and fine-tuning the work tapes...so the singer(s)...shouldn't have too many questions on matching words to music etc....and having to stress the words in an unpleasing way to make them work...Well anyways, I was playing one of the songs about the animals getting lost.. and it is to the other extreme...(not a sweet song)...The wind will be howling.. and there's a totally different and kinda eerie tone and feel to it...Anyhoo.., I got to thinking on Friday Morning..as I was playing...that..Little Kids listening to (that) song...would wonder if the (animals)..made it home safely....so...in the middle of taping the other one.. this answer song, Snuggled in With Love...came to me so I stopped on the other one ...and I started in with this Melody...and many of these words were right there with the melody...It's not always that easy...I have to normally work pretty hard with the words..and I've become pretty picky on how a certain word..sounds with a certain note. But I have a Lot to learn...... Thanks for your encouragement, Calvin..... and on the pretty.. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif) best to you........

Greetings Kaley,
Cute little kid's song! The melody is clean and comforting. One thing I'm wondering though...
Do skunks have dens or what? You might think about addiing some additional detail to describe this refuge other than just "home."
I really liked the c/d I bought for my wife's grandchild a number of months back. Unfortunately the child's mother doesn't ever comment on the gifts we send, so I've had no feedback on the child's reaction. It WAS a quality production though, so it really doesn't matter what she thought. I liked it! LOL!!!
Good luck with editing the other ones. You are well on your way to showing us what success is like, and I wish you all the best!
Stan

Hi Stan ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif) ...from Tennessee...... thank you very much on all that.... and also on the CD Comment. We are getting nice comments from Children's Radio...and from parents/grandparents . We're finding out the youngest kids...are really liking it best..from ages..1 - 6.... On this song,...I'll have to give that some thought.... Actually They can live in different places...I think they have burroughs under ground...or they nest under porches and wood piles. Back to the home,...see In this song...I'm trying to pull in the skunks...as an example.....but I really want..'home'..to be very ...hmmm..can't find the word.... broad in meaning...so little kids will be able to relate both to the skunk..and their own homes/families. I'll take 3 steps back....and try to see what you're saying......... Happy Thanksgiving........ Kaley ![[Linked Image]](http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/smile.gif)

Hi folks, Haven't been here for ages. Been out of circulation for one thing, but don't get here much anyway.
".and I've become pretty picky on how a certain word..sounds with a certain note." UH, I can attest to the foregoing statement, <G>. Seriously,tho' Kaley has come a long way since she first came on the board and I told her her song was a poem. I guess Bobbie is the only one who goes back that far. I quit trying to write kids melodies (and most others too, cause it's hard labor for me) Kaley gets most of the credit on the kids songs. I just help a little here and there. "Way to go KKB. Wy
