For such an old song that certainly has an accurate and modern line: And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo Every day you meet quite a few

I used to play my guitar and sing for my kids. My daughter continued to like me to play, my son when he got to adolescence said "don't sing, mom." LOL. But when they were little I sang to them a lot. I like the swinging on a star song.

I think there are a lot of lonely pianos these days. Gathering around the piano used (before most of us were born) to be a normal American pastime, or so I've read.

How nice of your great grands to visit - what a fun photo! We do sing - and since the kids are into songs from "their" generation now, they like to sing along to the radio, especially in the car. We try to find karaoke versions of it on youtube and sing at home (after homework though ).

Grest photo of the kids. I don't think I sang much to my children, I was more of a story teller.

I don't have kids, and don't like them. But it is fun to watch them play sometimes.
