Story behind the song
This is the second version of this piece, originally titled "Don't Ditty Daddy." The title is a play on the phrase "don't dilly dally." My kids complain I take too long to finish what I'm doing so I can play with them. This playful piece was written specifically for my kids; Sigh...they don't like it--and the oldest (then 7 1/2) is especially vocal against it. So, I decided to completely revise it, which included some changes of instrument as well. The kids have been "better" about it. But hell, it's not Hannah Montana, so how can I hope to compete?
