Synopsis

Album Description
From Ragtime to Rock and Roll is a children's CD best suited for children ages 5 through 12. American popular music is a rich and exciting melting pot of many cultures and this CD introduce kids to some types of music they might not be familiar with--folk, old time, blues and jazz. It also shows kids how the rock and roll and country music they listen to today is rooted in the European melodies and African rhythms of our countrys ancestory. This recording covers music common among American people from 1750 to 1950; from the African slave ships and European immigration to the Civil War to the Great Depression to the birth of rock and roll. Also included are songs from Theres a Rhythm to It All, a program I created with my husband, chiropractor-percussionist Dr. Joe Dockery, which explores music and rhythm in the world around us and in our bodies.
