Dear Raffi,
How are things? Record any music lately? Fight for world peace? Bump up and down in your little red wagon?
My friend Laura, what we like to do sometimes, is we like to roll around in Laura's minivan, listening to your Raffi tape in her audio cassette tape deck. We like to sing along, with the windows down, doing all the actions to "Brush Your Teeth" while holding our other hand in a faux microphone. You need the faux microphone if you're going to sing, because you'll never be Jem and the Holograms if you don't practice.
Anyways. I've listened to your tape a few times now. I am a big fan of that Halloween song, and that song about speckled frogs, even though I think you might sing it too slow. But what I'm not a fan of, Raffi -- I'm not a fan of not being mentioned in any of your songs. Even Laura gets to fix your little red wagon with her pliers. I AM HANDY, TOO, RAFFI. YOU SHOULD SEE ME WIELD A HAMMER.
Wibbledee, Wobbledee, Wanya, an Elephant sat on Tanya. You even mention a girl named DAVID ANNE. Who the hell names their child David Anne? Please don't even get me started on Akenrum. Little too hard was it? Adding THE MOST POPULAR NAME OF 1983?
Much love,
WIBBLEDEE WOBBLEDEE WARAH, AN ELEPHANT CAN SIT ON SARAH, RAFFI.
(Some of you may know Raffi as the talented young musician who went through a hollow log and straight into our hearts mornings on PBS. But you would be wrong. FRED PENNER, RETARD.)
(Psst. I first did this first at work with my trusty audio recorder. I am the coolest girl since the New Kids On the Block decided to freestyle rap. You can listen to it in all it's glory here.)

blog, sarah, blog!
be back sundayish..maybe.
So, I'm really disappointed that the most recent post is STILL August 8. You are like in love with the internet since it bought you flowers that one day. That internet is one smooth cookie.
Dear Sarah...
Do you know that you've been gone from us for 22 days now? 22 days is like an eternity in the online world.
We miss you.
ps: you didn't get a... life, did you?

Go there, click on audio or (gasp!) video of the show titled "hippies visit". Beer-fueled fun shall ensue. Or at least a complete waste of time. But there are worse ways to waste your time.
To the lab!
You are either a genius or the biggest dork I have ever met. But don't worry, I'm a big fan of dorks, I'm a dork myself. Perhaps Raffi didn't like the idea of pirates in his songs, miss Dread Pirate Sarah XD (after all, Jack Sparrow isn't exactly what one might call a roll model).
Oh and by the by - I believe Fred Penner went through a FAKE hollow log.
Raffi would only uses real logs - fake ones are dangerous to the environment. Impressionable young children may destroy habitats.
