Here's an mp3 of "Going To The Playground" in the works - a rough mix. Dad's playing the guitars and Jules is on the piano. Thought you might like to hear while we are still working on it. Sort of an alternate take - but backwards, before the final recording.

I really like Julia's piano part throughout, but especially at the end. She recorded the whole thing in one take this past Sunday. I was a proud papa listening while she recorded it - and ended on a major 7th! We just added the tamborine and acoustic guitar tonight while Jules played engineer. We're toying with a harmonica and more percussion too. But we're sans that here.

Lyrics:

I'm going to the playground
I'm gonna run round and round
I'm gonna sing happy sounds

I'm going to the playground
I'm gonna swing on the swings
I'm gonna be a ding a ling
