00:00Today is February 29th. It's a very special day for a select group of people that were born on

00:11this particular day. How many people did you say countrywide? Five million. Five million in a

00:16country of 330 million? Something along those lines. I think, is that worldwide or is that

00:21nationwide? I'm not really sure, but there's not many people. Yes. And we have a whole group of

00:25them birthday babies. We're so delighted to have this group in here with us this morning

00:32because those of you who catch the beginning of our show every Friday morning, there's a

00:37special little song that we play. In fact, the listener has been emailing or texting and for

00:42years he calls it his favorite wee little song. So we would like to welcome Kim and Sandy and

00:48Jared and Daniel all from making music. So we're going to sing some songs this morning.

00:55with our friends at making music. Yay! How do you, when you guys are talking to the kids,
