Name: a dozen
Duration: P00H01M28S
Description: i started singing a song about counting (why, yes, of course, the 1-2-3-4-5, 6-7-8-9-10, 11-12! song from sesame street remains a huge inspiration) -- and very soon in, i heard this kid clapping outside : ) so it made its way happily into this song -- enjoy! (if i re-vamp it with a band, i'd like to pick up the tempo!)
