This album brings together many old tunes which are familiar to us through nursery rhymes or folk tunes which we learnt as a child - and have so often half-forgotten! However, it is a telling tribute to the durabilitiy of these tunes and themes that even in this age of technical sophistication, of computer games and multi-media presentations, many children will still know them from the school playground or from television programmes or school lessons. So the album becomes an'aide-memoire' for parents and grandparents, and can be used as a useful little teaching aid to ensure that these tunes remain in children's minds.
