To all who contributed, thanks very much. My nephew may not like
all these choices, but I hope they will spur some serious musical
interest. If I didn't use your selection it may not have been available
to me. I think I have a few here, too, that no one else thought of.
I have enough suggestions for a Vol.3! Also you'll see from the times 
listed at right that in certain cases I used an excerpt. I chose the Mingus
"A" Train version because it breaks down to a Mal Waldron stride piano solo
in the middle. The Chick Corea sounds just like a train - when I have
played it myself on the piano for kids they say "a train"! I.G.Y. of course
talks about a train from New York to Paris in 90 "underground by rail."
Side D may be over the head of an 8-year old, but he may come back to it
later and like it.
