"Elastic" Songs

Being flexible is a good thing. These songs know that all too well. Because they are "Elastic" – well, at least their titles include that word. Which probably means something, or maybe it means nothing. I dunno. Enjoy?  ~  JH

"Strong" Songs

As promised, here's the follow-up to yesterday's post, "Strong" being a common opposite of "Faint" and all. Because I am striving to raise my daughter to be a strong, independent woman (at just three years old, she's already got the independent bit down pat), each of these "Strong" Songs is primarily sung and/or performed by "Strong" women. Enjoy!  ~  JH
