A Friend in Singing Books

Posted on: April 16, 2010

My friend Aiden Feyerherm has joined me at many gatherings at Aladdin’s Lamp.  One of his favorite Singable Picture Book songs, and he can sing the whole song himself…sooooooo CUTE, is “A-You’re Adorable” and I’m looking forward to singing it with him (and you) soon!  

It is very special to me to get pictures with such ADORABLE friends!

Please join us at Aladdin’s Lamp tomorrow:  Saturday, April 17 at 11am!

There’s nothing like singing a song to start your day off right!
