Bert and Ernie Fill in for Lefty: Traveling Wilburys - Vol. 3
Dave DiMartino, Musician, December 1990
THEY SAY YOUR PERSPECTIVE changes when youve got a kid, and since little Mikey hit the one year mark at our house, Ive been listening to music for a whole new batch of reasons. Every morning at eight Mikey goes nuts when he hears the opening theme of Sesame Street, which, as a music-lovin dad, makes me happy as a clam. His grandmother just bought him one of those kiddie cassette players for his birthday, so now Im starting to make him tapes. I just played him an advance of the new Raffi, which is about the environment, and Im not sure he liked it that much — too hard to understand and all.
