"The "Music Machine" CD began its life as a record (remember those?) and, in our household, it was so loved and played that it had to be replaced at least once. Now that it is available on CD, I am sending it to the new generation of "little kids" in our family. This is a wonderful collection of "life lessons" on topics like gentelness, patience, kindness, faithfullness... you get the picture. The music is well written, singable and great fun. It is NOT the anoying repetitive dribble that gets stuck in your head and makes you want to run screaming from the house, the kind that seems to dominate the "children's music" arena today. This music has been loved and played over and over by 3 generations of our family. This is music with a message that everyone can relate to. If we raise our children with the values of loving kindness and acceptance that these songs teach (NOT preach) the world will definately improve. This classic is a "must have" for any household with children, ages birth -106!"

"THE MUSIC MACHINE: FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT was one of my favorite records growing up (along with Bullfrogs and Butterflies, Down By The Creek Bank, and Super Gang).



Stevie and Nancy are two children who are introduced to the conductor and his music machine. This music machine that likes to "whurr whurr chicka chicka bum bum zzzt" before playing songs for the children to sing along with.



Songs include A Land Called Love, Music Machine, The Whistle Song, Smile, The String Song, Patience, Gentleness, Faith, Joy, Peace, Goodness, Love, Self Control, and Kindness.



My favorites include Patience (the song about Herbert the snail) and Self Control."

Glad it's still available!!!

"I remember sitting for hours, as a little girl, with the book and record and enjoying all of it! Now (about 25 years later) what amazes me is I still know all the songs and just the other day I rocked my niece to sleep singing a couple of the songs of this album!....You can imagine how thrilled I am to see I can buy it for my nieces and nephews and my own kids someday!!! It teaches so many good lessons in the form of songs...lessons I still remember today. When I'm driving a bit fast and impatient I can't help but think of the "patience" song with Herbert the snail and I slow down. A must have!!!"
