The cover says "parent friendly", and as a parent who has been forced to listen to all kinds of cringmaking children's ministry music, I would agree with that self- assessment. With a couple of similar albums on the market, talented folk guitarist Frank McConnell is clearly a gifted specialist in this field and knows how to produce arrangements that don't offend adult ears and also still sound fresh after repeated playings. All the standards are here and my only quibble is that there is little help given for the "actions" - surely an essential part of any song for the under fives!

Dear Dene,

Apologies for a VERY slow response but thank you kindly. Once upon a time, Ralph and I lived quite close to each other and often shared a stage. We were both ten pound a night singers, but he became Ralph McTell and I became me!

Blessings to you and yours.

This is the best Children's Cd I've ever listened to, I myself (mum) can listen to it over and over again and be even encouraged and refreshed myself. I was hoping there were more cd's available by the same man, but have been unsuccesful in finding any. Cheers!

Dear Abby

I was demonstrating the web to my older sister and said 'For example...' and I accidentally came to this page and your wonderfully kind comments all the way from the other side of the world. Thank you for them. You are most generous. I am delighted that you have enjoyed my little offering to Christian work.

Many blessings.

Frank McConnell
