A Note From Mama Lisa...
I always welcome new contributions of traditional kids songs, nursery rhymes and folk songs. Please CLICK
HERE to email Mama Lisa if you are
interested and write "New Song" as the
subject of the email.
Also, if anyone would like to sing any
of these songs in the original language,
or play any of the tunes on an instrument,
I would love to post a recording on Mama
Lisa's World. You could send me an audio
cassette or you could record it directly
onto the computer and email it to me. Remember...
you don't have to be a professional singer
or musician to contribute!
