(More to come as Carol Ireland and I produce more)

It is tragic that our children by and large are not being taught to sing simple songs, that basic activity which forms the backbone of musical (and poetic) experience, and creates the foundation upon which all future singing, playing and listening experiences rests. I could go on and I will sometime, but here I just need to say that Carol Ireland and I are extremely delighted to be producing these recordings which we believe to be of vital importance to your children.
