Where's Raffi?

Norah has recently become very engaged with music, specifically children's music, more specifically children's music sung by Raffi. Maggie, Laura, and I used to listen to Raffi's music when we were kids, so we had an old tape of his that my mom had saved all of these years. Dan went on iTunes a couple of months ago and downloaded another album for us to listen to in (my) car. Thanks sweetie:) Now, our morning commute goes something like this:

(Pulling out of the driveway)

Norah: I don't like this station. Where's Raffi?
Me: So you don't want to listen to NPR this morning?
Norah: I want Raffi. Where's Raffi? (repeat until Raffi starts playing)

(A few blocks later, as the CD is ending and the player is threatening to cycle to the next CD)

Norah: Where's Raffi?
Me: I'll start him over (again)

I'll give Raffi a lot of credit- his tunes are catchy. I fell asleep last night to an endless loop of Baby Beluga playing in my head. We downloaded another album from iTunes the other day, just to add a little variety to the inevitable choice of music in the car. Now Dan can have the old CD in his car so he can join in the fun.
