FRIEND SONG



LET'S BE FRIENDS SONG







THE VIOLIN






The Meloditties meet Tarrita, a guitar with a broken string. They all look for something to replace it: a blade of grass, a length of wool, a piece of spider’s web, a rubber band – but it’s no good. Maestro Nomo ends up replacing the broken guitar string with a new one.
