Sunshine Rainbows and Violins – finally mastered from vinyl to CD following many requests for it over the long career of Franciscus Henri prior to reincarnating as Mister Whiskers. The third of a catalogue of 14 solo albums created for children recorded in 1981. Twenty-eight songs as listed, many of them about weather, although as with all of Franciscus' albums the content is mixed and varied from animals to trains and cars, with somewhat crazy 'Oogoo Tree' to finish off with punch.
