This is another of my absolute favorite songs of all time, and a perfect one for putting the kids into a restful, relaxed state. It does wonders on that front for me too.
I was first introduced to this song in band class, and I prefer straight instrumental versions, but since I often sing the song to the kids (as best I can... no justice is done there), I thought I'd drop a sung version here. Enjoy!

Now it's springtime.
Note--This list was put together from active rosters as listed on mlb.com as of Wednesday evening. Also, it was done from memory, so it's entirely possible that I missed some people. If I did, please leave an LTE saying so.
And we'll now take a break from our regularly scheduled Guest DJ theme to play something more appropriate to the day.
Happy Opening Day!

One of my kids' favorites, and a really on-point bedtime song, is BNL's "When You Dream". This video ain't exactly quality, but it was about the best I could do for a live performance. The album version of this song is definitely worth a listen, and the lyrics are pretty fun too.

We would like to wish a very happy birthday to Can of Corn.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to Milt on Tilt. Gone but not forgotten.
It sure sounds like our office's annual summer employee function will be at a White Sox game this year. In a fortuitous twist, it looks like that game happens to be during a series when the Twins are in town. As a member of the committee, I am sure I don't know how that happened...
