Babblebrook – Delrec – Released: 1997 Producer: Bob Buckley
One day I was driving with one of my daughters, Jeunesse, to Dundarave Beach in West Vancouver. This was a fun family spot for us in the hot summers. It was just Jeunesse and I that day, and she was in the back seat of our Gold Super Beetle Volkswagen. She asked me a simple enough question: “Dad, have you ever been to Babblebrook?” “Where is that?” I said. It was a land she had created, I supposed.
The name kept going through my mind. I got together with Bob Buckley to write some songs for a contact I had at CBC Sesame Street. Bob and I wrote a little song called “Babblebrook”, which an animator named Rob Kirbyson put to Claymation. Another song we wrote, “What Do You Do?”, was used in another animated piece. Both songs ran on CBC Sesame Street for several years. And CBC Sesame Street, along with Rob Kirbyson, did another Claymation segment for a song called “Brush Your Teeth”.
