Update: The Child in Us All

See the original "The Child in Us All" post here.

Shel Silverstein seems to be everywhere these days.

Here are two features, both from Brain Pickings, that celebrate the late great children's author's musical achievements.  The first is from a 1970 episode of The Johnny Cash Show, when Silverstein performed a children's song he wrote called "Daddy, What If."  The second is a preview of the recent album Twistable, Turnable Man: A Musical Tribute To The Songs Of Shel Silverstein.  The album features covers from My Morning Jacket, Andrew Bird, and more indie legends.

Note: I think the playlist operates better if you are using Firefox or Chrome rather than Safari.
