My kingdom for more Laurie

I have posted before about Laurie Berkner and her wonderful DVD but I didn't talk to much on the CD that came with it. We have this CD, of just 5 songs, in our car and everytime we are anywhere with the kids somebody asks to listen to it. This CD holds so much power, it is almost scary. This CD stops kids from fighting, stops Ady from throwing fits and wakes her peacefully from a slumber BUT the best thing about this CD of wonder is its ability to make a screaming baby perfectly content within 30 seconds of turning it on. Jaden has been in meltdown mode 2 times and as soon as he hears Laurie's voice (no matter what song) he stops and is quiet and happy the rest of the time in the car. On one hand it is every parents dream-a simple push of a button and all is fine with the screaming baby, but when you have just the 1 CD with just 5 songs it does get kinda boring. I am not the kind of person who can listen to the same song over and over, not even Billy Joel(gasp-I have betrayed him) so we need more Laurie Berkner CDs. What to buy? Ady likes Walk Along the River and Jonas loves The Happy Song and Steve had a few favorites off of the CD that Trish burned for us(which doesn't like to play in the car) Anybody have any favorite CDs of her. Have you heard anything about any of them? I found this nice little toy today looking for something to please us all and thought about sweet talking Steven but then I saw the price-ouch. So I am on a quest to find a good Laurie Berkner CD to please the family.

Just in case Billy Joel read this- I really can listen to your songs over and over again I just put that in there to prove a point

Go to Amazon, you can sample everything. Thanks to you I think I will pick up "Under a Shady Tree".

Billy Joel has nothing to worry about, Erin wants to see him so badly that she doesn't even care if it's after he's had a car accident. Plus all of her kids had a Billy Joel song playing when they were born, that would be kind of creepy if they ever got together.
