beatles songs in general are a good suggestion, as well. i'll have to think about which ones i could use and how (and look for a way to play my old vinyl records to her without a record player)... Sorry Panta Rhei - I didn't know the child was not an English speaker. The Beatles spent a few years i...

That link I gave above has some excellent songs on it but it is worth a visit just to hear Ralph MCtell singing live his song "After Rain". It is the very last s...
