Sometimes I have an idea that just has to happen, through any means necessary.
Do you remember the song ‘It’s Springtime’ from Sesame Street? It had a piggy-nosed cartoon kid who played on a playground with a swing and it went through all the seasons. Here, this might refresh your memory.
I dearly love that video, and thought it would make great soundtrack for a playground video for school. I tried the legitimate channels to acquire the song through some sort of non-shady means, but no – the world conspired to keep us apart.
That’s ok. I have tape and a jar.
It is hard for me to hold still and quiet for a minute and 33 seconds. Plus, it took more than one take.
It buys me some time to look for the song. Or to re-record it on the ukulele.
Ha!
Erm, I am uncomfortable posting the final product here on the website, but if you go check out our Facebook page after noon (my time) today, you can see it! (facebook.com/stjohncdc)

Hmmm… I don’t remember that springtime song at all…
Once I found a piece of freeware that pulled the music off of a YouTube video. I really wanted this music:

Lauren, you are a genius! I can’t wait to hear how it turned out.
And seeing your little pie jar above reminded of this commercial I saw last night in the middle of the night (I haven’t been sleeping well). I’ve never seen this before. I’m telling you, a fortune lies within all your ideas! I’m ready to back you!

What a lovely video. I hope the parents get a copy. Wouldn’t that be a delightful memory?
