"Free to Be... You and Me"

Anyone remember? I vaguely remember the book/video from my childhood... what great messages.

I have no idea how I now came across these vids... such is the way of the intertubes!

5. I had that vinyl when I was a kid.

It's probably still at my parents house somewhere.
And they still have my Fisher-Price record player that I used to play the record.

6. I bought the book and CD for my kids because it's FUCKING AWESOME.

The song "Free to Be" still makes me tear up.

8. This was on NPR's Morning Editions this morning:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121064607
It's about 5:38 into that segment (if you don't want to listen to all of it).

Free To Be ... You And Me
(1970s TV show) Bill Davis, Len Steckler, Fred Wolf, directors

Free To Be ... You and Me started out as a record album and then became an illustrated songbook for kids. "I sang along, I read along," Patsavas recalls. Free To Be ... You and Me went on to become a beloved 1970s children's television show.

"I'd love nothing more than to redo it and have current bands from the 2010s re-create some of these songs," Patsavas says.
