Kids’ KornerThe Fabulous Song by Don GilmorWhen Sarah Pipkin's brother was born, everyone decided he would be musical. They even named him Frederic, as in Frederic Chopin. As Frederic grew, he tried, without success, to play every instrument. Then, on his seventh birthday, with the Pipkins gathered around, the fabulous song finally happened.
