5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, January 3, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Fairfax, Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Songs Of The Cat (Audio Cassette)

As a cat lover, I found this compilation of poems/songs wholly accurate and entertaining. I loaned the tape to my mother who, in turn, loaned it to may aunt, who loaned it on, etc. I miss it! Therefore, I have found my way to Amazon for the sole purpose of obtaining another copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Musical Gem, October 27, 2002

By	Donald E. Fulton (Stoneham, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't own a cat, but this is a musical and 'cat' gem. Wonderful, original lyrics by Garrison to classical and popular tunes. About 16 cat songs sung by Garrison and Frederica with chorus and superb orchestra and orchestrations. Excellent sound quality, lots of fun.

By A Customer

Anyone who has a cat, likes cats, or who wants to know more about cats should get this CD. Even if you hate cats, I think you will enjoy this CD.

I have 2 of these Songs of the Cat CDs in case something happens to one of them...
