Kat....you can't possibly keep this up for 26 more days!!!

[The deadline for the auction is set for May 4 in order to coincide with the next full moon, because there's a picture of a full moon on the CD cover.]

Anyway, I thought that you wanted to nab this one for you and your grandbaby. So, let it rest, Kat, and the CD shall be thine, and thine alone.

Only 6 days remaining. There is an end to this long dark tunnel!

The race is now between Katlaughing, Wilbyhillbilly and MMario. Wilbyhillbilly took the lead 2 days ago, leaving JeffM lying face down in the dust.

It's anyone's race, but Wilbyhillbilly keeps mentioning his little boy who absolutely NEEDS this CD, which seems to be giving him a certain advantage. Will Katlaughing and MMario be able to catch him on the final lap with needs of their own, or will they join JeffM face down on the path of defeat?

Stay tuned.

I'm sure?? Katlaughing and Mmario COULD'NT BE SO CRUEL, as to deprive my POOR LITTLE two and a half year old Danny (as in Oh Danny Boy) of this music he is craving so much. OR COULD THEY??????????

Danny is UP and Over the Moon, and has asked me to thank the generous and kindhearted mudcatters who let him win the CD.

He has also made me promise that I shall not resort to emotional blackmail ever again, but hey, it worked.

Seriously though, JeffM, Kat, and MMario, really appreciate the gesture and I can assure you Danny will love the CD, he already knows some of the words from listening to the samples (can you hop, hop, hop) etc.

Thanks Debbie for making it possible, and hope you enjoy your fleeting visit to our part of the world.

Now MOST IMPORTANT, can someone please tell me how I pay Mudcat, can I use Paypal, credit card or what?

Wilby

GoodonyaDanny and dad!

Click on the fish jumping out of the banjo on the main forum page where it says "support Mudcat" and that will take you to the page which explains how to pay. Scroll down that page and there is a link to PayPal.

Thanks to Black Walnut and Wilbyhillbilly for supporting the Mudcat!

Wilbyhillbilly,

I got a letter from a little girl last week, that says: "THANK MUCH I LIKE HOP LIKE A BUNNY". What is it about that song??!

Here are all of the words. I didn't write the words, only the tune to go with them.

Can you hop, hop, hop like a bunny?
And run, run, run like a dog?
Can you walk, walk, walk like an elephant?
And jump, jump, jump like a frog?

Can you swim, swim, swim like a goldfish?
And fly, fly, fly like a bird?
Can you sit right here like a quiet mouse
And not say a single word?
Shhhhhhhhh

[Anonymous]

Actually I did change the last little bit. "Can you sit right here and fold your hands and not say a single word?" was WAY to didactic for me.

Ken Whiteley had a lot of fun doing the sound effects for this one. To make the sound of a flying bird, he flapped old LP covers. He's a riot.

Anyway, W. and Danny - enjoy the CD and please may the post office elephants not trample the case before it reaches your mailbox. And I hope it makes it to England before I do! ;-)

Thanks for the info Kat, paid it in today via Paypal, easy peasy.

Debbie, it would seem that "Bunny" is taking off, I must admit that to watch Danny trying to sing it whilst doing the impressions is something else, his Elephant has to be seen to be believed and if he happens to be upstairs at the time we have to watch out for falling plaster from the ceiling *bg*.

P.S. Kat your CD is on its way via airmail plus a suprise one??
