| What was a part of my family's routine for a while, at the beginning of this century, was listening to the four CDs of children's music that Groce recorded for the Disney Children's Favorites series between 1979 and 1989. The disks average twenty-five songs apiece, and include just about everything you'd expect to hear in such a venture, with a few Groce compositions tossed in for good measure. My recollection is we generally played them as background music, sometimes serving as inspiration for infant/toddler play, sometimes trying to help settle for an afternoon nap. Our little wonder was not one to go to sleep without a fight; frequently we'd have to sit and rock with her for thirty minutes or more. But that moment when she finally settled, with Groce and a few kids softly cooing, say, "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" from the CD player on the dresser, well, it was known to make tears well up as I slowly stood up and laid her in the crib. Maybe the memory still does. |
