Frances England Rarity is a Hidden Treasure

A few years ago, San Francisco-based mom and musician Frances England came out of nowhere and charmed the sneakers off kids and their grownups with her first two CDs Fascinating Creatures and Family Tree, both making the best-of lists in 2006 and 2008.

A new tune by Frances England, "Sunset Shines on Me," has popped up on the WWW recently, written by England for her kids' alma mater, the Sunset Cooperative Nursery School. It would be an absolute shame if more people didn't get to hear the simple brilliance of England's style, so check out "Sunset Shines on Me" and bask in the calming awesomeness.
