Absolutely wonderful memories of this album (I have have mine since I was a child in the early 60's). I listened to this over and over - and it's wonderful hearing this again. I found my album of this (the Piano and the Talking Train) and was gonna play it for my grandkids but found this on UA-cam and very happy to have found it. Thank you. Sparky: "I shall now play "The Spinning Song" by Mendelssohn." Piano: "Oh no you won't." Sparky: "What do you mean I won't, piano!" Piano: "Your time is up, I will no longer play...for...you." I could certainly relate to the panic Sparky felt, and it taught me a great life lesson about having an overinflated ego...

Yes, there actually was a "Syria Mosque" in Pittsburg (nothing to do with Islam or worship there of)... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria_Mosque
