Remember when...

When i was little i was obsessed with Raffie (i hope that's how you spell it) songs. I loved baby baluga and watermelon. Most of his songs were so upbeat and always made me feel happy. They were easy to sing along to and they would always get stuck in my head, forcing me to think about them all day. I would play them at night before i fell asleep in addition to every second of the day. Once i got to see him perform live! It was an amazing experience i still remember to this day. Some of us got to go on the stage with him and participate in the songs. We were jumping around, bellowing the lyrics and having the time of our lives. He seemed like a kid himself.
One of the reasons i enjoyed listening to Raffie was because of his friendly voice. He had warmth and inclusion in his voice that kids trusted. He was one of my friends even though i hadn't really met the guy.

I loved Raffi, too. By the way, there is no "e" at the end. Just an "i". Were there any books that went with his songs? We actually have his CD. I think we took it from mom's classroom years ago. It's pretty fun.
