Sorry Bill, I have to agree with Ella,… CandyBand ROCKS!. However my little guy Nicky (4) thinks Scribble Moster is #1. Samantha (3) just thinks it is a shame that nothing from the Lazytown soundtrack ever gets air time. But she has always been more of a techno/rave girl and loves the Freeze song.

Keep up the great work. We love you guys and your music pics.

Hey, I love CandyBand too, and I think if Ella hadn't picked them, I would've had to have two favorite bands. And ScribbleMonster is awesome.

We don't actually have anything recorded from LazyTown, but we'll look for it. Both Ella and Liam (3) like the show; I just haven't thought of it as a source for music...

Thanks for listening and for staying in touch. We love hearing from folks!
