This week's Stories...

This week, we're off for a visit to the countryside with three sweet, classic children's records from yesteryear.

First up, join in on a jolly version of the classic children's song, "Oats, Peas, Beans" by Roger White, as we quickly follow Mr. Farmer through his very busy day.

Next, we stop by the house of "The Little Crooked Man" (of the Mother Goose rhyme) with his crooked cat and crooked mouse, and then visit "The Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe" in a fine record by Roy Hallee.

Finally, we travel with Uncle Don Down On The Farm where we meet all the animals in a fun musical adventure from long ago Sonora Records. These delightful children's records were originally released in the 1940s and early 1950s, and are still a treat to listen to today. Enjoy!

Need help Downloading?

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS below if you are unfamiliar with downloading a file or are having any problems with your download.

To download a program, RIGHT click (use the right hand button on your mouse) the link above, and "save target as" (or "save link as") to the directory of your choice. The file should start downloading right away. If it doesn't, try it again, and follow these instructions carefully. (DON'T cut and paste this link into your web browser -- that will just PLAY the program over the internet (it will be jumpy and start & stop a lot), and will not DOWNLOAD the program. If you want to download it to your computer, you need to follow the above instructions.)

NOTE: If the file just starts playing over your computer right away, that's because you clicked the link with the LEFT hand button on your mouse. You need to click the RIGHT HAND button to download the whole show to your computer.

IF you right click the link and your computer does not allow you to "save target", you need to adjust your computer's security settings (or disable your "internet content advisor" settings) to allow downloaded files.

MAC USERS: In order to download these files, hold down the Control key then click the link with your mouse.  It will then download to the directory you choose.

If your download is unusually slow, it could be because our server is busy or overtaxed. You might try again at a later hour. It should - eventually - work fine.

Note: This program will be available for ONE WEEK ONLY on the free site, so don't put off downloading it if you want a copy.
