Thank you to everyone for participating in the giveaways and for participating on the site.  Becuase of you, I’m able to continue to have FREE giveaways.  Well, free to you, but not always for me.  As a general reminder, I ship most of these giveways out on my own, with very little resources.  I’m just trying to share the great goodies that I get, so, please bear with me on the shipping timeframe.  It could take as little as a few days, but as long as several weeks.  Thanks so much for understanding!

I recently had the chance to check out Funky Kidz, which is a musical compilation performed by several artists from New Orleans and features covers of children’s songs.  Including classic kiddie songs like “Hokey Pokey” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” the award-winning CD includes musicians include such as Ivan Neville of the Neville Brothers; The Radiators; George Porter Jr. of The Meters;  Bonerama, and more.
