Great Musical Tribute to Childhood!   July 6, 2000

A friend gave this cd to me several years ago. I've always liked Kenny Loggin's music, so I feel in love with this album. A cd full of beloved lullabies, it's great for adults, babies and kids alike. When my brother and sister- in- law were still expecting their baby, I bought them this cd. They loved it too! After my nephew was finally born in May, they continue to play it. I think he recognized the music because his Mommy and Daddy played it so much when he was still in the womb...haha ...but it's true. It's relaxing and I love the artists that join Loggins in his musical tribute to childhood...David Crosby, Graham Nash, Patti Austin, David Benoit, Gene Wilder, Amy Grant, Gary Chapman, and Chet Akins. When I listen to it, it reminds me of my own childhood....those carefree, fun, innocent days. All The Pretty Little Ponies is just beautiful, as is The Last Unicorn, Love (written by John Lennon and one of my favorites), and the Irish lullaby, To-Ra-Loo-Ra. Rainbow Connection brings back memories of Kermit the Frog, sitting on a log in his pond, with his banjo, singing this ditty. Cody's Song, which Loggins wrote for his son, is very touching - a song every parent can relate to. The Neverland Medley, which includes Somewhere Out There, Never Never Land, and Pure Imagination, is a beautiful duet featuring Loggins and Austin. It's a really enjoyable and soothing cd!


FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH! HOW ABOUT TEN STARS!   June 3, 2001

If you have children, of any age from birth through adolescence, YOU NEED THIS CD. I purchased this CD for my 8 month old daughter. It has been playing, over and over thanks to that option on the CD player in her nursery, since I got it - a week ago. My wife starting singing along with songs she hadn't heard since she was a little girl. She commented "I didn't know that would be on there". They ended up dancing together, daughter in mom's arms.

This begins with "ALL THE PRETTY LITTLE PONIES". Anybody who has never heard this song has been cheated from one of life's simplist pleasures.

"NEVERLAND MEDLEY" is all of Peter Pan, Never-Never land, "Willie Wonka", children's dreams, fantasy, sugar, spice, and everything nice all rolled into one.

Anybody who is old enough to remember LOGGINS & MESSINA will remember "RETURN TO POOH CORNER".

"RAINBOW CONNECTION", "ST JUDY'S COMET", "THE LAST UNICORN", and "THE HORSES" are beautiful renditions of songs our mother's used to sing us to sleep to.

"CODY'S SONG", "LOVE", and "TO-RA-LOO-RA" will be new to us. They are very personal writings from Kenny to his son Cody, but apply to us all.

Filled with ponies, horses, candy, "Peter Pan", "Winnie The Pooh", "Roo", "Tigger" too, and lullabies our mother's sang. What else could someone hope for. I want my daughter to sleep to, and encourage her dreams to, these songs. Forget the CLASSICAL MUSIC, buy this CD. In fact, Kenny has another CD titled "More Songs From Pooh Corner". If it's only half as good as this one is, it'll deserve a five star rating, and will be on my soon-to-be purchased list.

THANK YOU, KENNY LOGGINS, FROM ME AND MY WHOLE FAMILY. YOUR GIFT CAN, AND HAS, CHANGED THE WORLD - ONE FAMILY AT A TIME.


THE BEST CD I EVER BOUGHT!   November 18, 1999

I first heard the song "Return to Pooh Corner" on the radio when I was pregnant, and it hit me very close to home (I had an invisible friend as a child named "Christopher Robin" I loved Pooh so much, my son's nursery is decorated in Pooh). My mother and I had just been discussing C-Robin two days earlier, and it was so wonderful, I sat and started crying. Almost immediately, I located a copy to copy, and that poor tape and I were friends my entire pregnancy. I played it ever night to sleep with. When my son was born, I would play it, and he would instantly lie and be calm (wonder why?). As soon as I could I bought a copy of the CD and it was played instead just as much. I am purchasing a replacement for it from Amazon! I didn't know CD's could wear out. It's a terrific CD for adults and children. The Rainbow connection brought back so many memories of my love of the muppets, the Willy Wonka song made me laugh, for I still knew all the words, and the Last Unicorn haunted me. I still love this music very much, and there are still times "Pooh" makes me cry, yet, esp. watching my son sleep with his own Pooh bear.

I bought this CD because I love the song "Return to Pooh Corner". I thought the rest of the album would be so-so- I have to say it is the best investment I have made in a while. My 2 1/2 year old had fought sleep since the day he was born. I started playing this CD to calm him down and he is usually asleep by the third song. I especially love the first 5 songs. St. Judy's Comet gives me chills. I recommend it to anyone!
