Dear Betty,

I received my Volume One CD yesterday and can't tell you how excited I am. I was also surprised to find out how many of the songs I recognized. The main song I wanted the CD for was "The Little Blue Man". I am curious to know what inspired that particular song. I first heard "The Little Blue Man" at about the age of 10 years and can remember my mother driving to a neighboring city in Alabama to get a copy of the record for me. I drove my parents and four siblings crazy with singing the song. We were moving to across the states to Texas, and with five children in a car, we were each only aloud to take one item with us. All the rest went in the moving van (including the record player) so I am not sure why I insisted on taking the record in the car. I placed it carefully in the back window so as not to break it. I checked on the record and found it warped two days into the trip. Being a Military family, moving was never a problem, just a new adventure, but this time turned tragic with the warping of the record. My mom said she would get me a new record when we got settled, but shortly after moving both our parents were killed in a car accident. I never did get another record, but never forgot the words of the song. For years I sang it to my own two children and of course when the grandchildren came along, I sang it to them. I am anxious to visit my daughter and take the CD with me in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure my daughter will see the joy in it, but my eight year old granddaughter will be delighted.

Thank you so much for getting back into releasing CD's. I am indeed greatful for the memories that you have stirred in me.
Thanks again,
Janet
