DITTO KIDDO ALBUM REVIEW

I believe, with no doubt, that without Stephen’s voice and melodies passing through my ears in the early years of my life, I would have an entirely different set of dreams. His music was the soundtrack to my childhood and I can’t imagine a better way to learn about love, family, and bedtime than through his voice! He’s a GENIUS!
