Adrianna has this great toy that plays a lot of different songs. Many of the songs are old folk songs or songs that aren’t commonly heard in most musical toys. She loves it.<\/p>\n
One of the songs is Red River Valley<\/em>. I sometimes like to sing the songs to her when they are playing, but I could only remember one line of this particular song. “I will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile.” So I decided to plug that line into Google and see if I could find the lyrics. And find them I did. One of the sites<\/a> I visited also had an MP3 file of a group singing the song so I decided to play it. Adrianna immediately came over to me and pulled me to my feet and said, “Dance.”<\/p>\n So we danced. When the song was over, she would not let me put her down. She pointed to my computer and said, “Dance.” So I started the song over again and we danced some more. I think we must have played the song about 10 times before she let me have a break.<\/p>\n I am posting the song Red River Valley<\/a> for your listening enjoyment. The style of this version of the song, according to Wikipedia<\/a>, is “Cantopop<\/a>” (Cantonese Pop Music) and is sung by a group called Twins<\/a>. I guess they are pretty popular in China. It makes for a quirky, fun song and Adrianna and I both really like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adrianna has this great toy that plays a lot of different songs.
