Like Tweet (Columbia). The idea is cute and corny: eleven songs with themes that take off from the tunes of far-out birds like the purple finch and the wood pewee.

That would make it easier for all parties, but it might also move the front line a little closer to those cute little blue-eyed babies across the Channel and across the ocean...
