Jacob is teaching himself guitar, and I’ve contracted him to learn a few of my favorite songs. He gets $20 when he can play and sing any of the following:

  • David Bowie, “Space Oddity”
  • Guns N Roses, “Patience”
  • Bob Dylan, “Desolation Row”
  • Violent Femmes, “Please Do Not Go”

Basically, those are my favorite songs to sing along to.

I was a little aghast when I realized Jake wasn’t familiar with any David Bowie, clearly I’ve neglected some vital cultural studies with him.

Don’t make the same mistake I did! Get your kids started on quirky 80s hits today with this fantastically illustrated FREE DOWNLOAD picture book retelling of “Space Oddity.”

Note where the author states that there is no physical version… yet. Spread the word and make it happen!

What other songs would be good as picture books?

What songs should Jake learn next?

  7. I’m really loving the theme/design of your web

    A few of my blog visitors have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer
    but looks great in Opera. Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?

  8. Double kitchen units were designed to be freestanding and supported by legs.
    Selection of sink is done first as it is fitted during the construction of
    kitchen platform itself. Knowing the type of restaurant
    you intend to open and the cuisine you will offer will define
    the type of restaurant equipment that should be purchased.

    few of the posts I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m certainly delighted I came across it and I’ll
    be book-marking it and checking back often!

  10. Howdy! I know this is sort of off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does running a well-established blog like yours take a massive amount work?

    I’m brand new to running a blog however I do write in my diary every day.

    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and views online.

    Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new
    aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

  11. I think that what you posted was actually very logical.
    However, think on this, suppose you added a little information? I mean, I don’t
    wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a post title
    to possibly grab people’s attention? I mean Ground Control to Major
    Tom – Delaware To Do is a little boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s
    front page and note how they create news headlines to get people interested.
    You might add a video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve
    written. In my opinion, it would make your website a little livelier.

  12. Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal.
    I must say you’ve done a awesome job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Internet explorer.
    Exceptional Blog!
