Subject: RE: Black Walnut on Rick's show tonght
Thanks so much. It's been a big challenge and lot of fun. There's quite a bit of good kids' music out there these days, and I should have mentioned on the show that a great place to experience it is at folk festivals. This summer I'll be going to the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival (as a member of the audience), where Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer will be performing both on the adult and children's stages. They are wonderful with audiences of all ages. Kirk and Magoo have entertained our family for years. And there are other good children's performers out there as well.

What I do is a bit unique in that I teach babies and toddlers - and the CD is aimed at children birth to 5 years of age. Get them while they're young, I say. But we wanted grownups to like listening to the CD as well, and that's the feedback I've been getting. I mean, how many children's CD's do you know that have this much slide guitar??!
