Search - Bonnie Lockhart :: Dreams, Drums, & Green Thumbs

Sing-alongs, story songs, lullabies, rounds and singing games--this collection of Bonnies originals and favorite folk traditionals invites participation, contemplation, and celebration. With rich vocal harmonies and accompaniments from Appalachian fiddle to Caribbean steel drums, these songs inspire children of all ages--and the parents and teachers who love them--to join in the fun of this handmade, heartfelt music. You can dance to Jackline's Rago's samba percussion, growl, roar and become a little wiser to the Jerry Lee Lewis-inspired piano of "When I Feel Mad", groove in a singing game with Any Narell's steel drums, or drift off to sleep with the delicate mandolin accompaniment to A Boy and a Bear. Songs on the album are arranged with the liveliest, dance, move, and sing-along numbers toward the begining. These numbers will be useful for classroom and family participation. The last section of the recording features story songs and lullabies suitable for bedtime listening. Lyrics are included in the package.
