  Some of you might be interested in these: Children's songs. Site being updated - check back if the links aren't working yet.

We are also interested in cars, motorcycles, boats and airplanes. Too bad these are interests we cannot afford to indulge! This is a new section- check back as we find some good sites to indulge our wishful thinking!
