Happy Beach

Music CD Review

Happy Beach. Performed by Perry Springman. Produced by Mark Heimermann. 2016. $12.00

Perry Springman's Happy Beach is a lively, wonderful album, which, unlike other secular albums for children, celebrates God in our lives. These ten bouncy songs are performed primarily in various of rock and pop musical styles, which include Latin and Hawaiian flavors. Several of the songs speak of God's having created people, His forgiveness, and our thanking and trusting Him. The various musicians give excellent performances on guitar, ukulele, keyboards, trumpet, trombone, saxophone, bass, drums, and percussion. Song titles include "Chimichanga," "The 3 Minute Clean-up," "Unh-Uh, No Way," "My Ukulele," "Me and Buddy," "Why Does the World Have Slivers," "Bouncy Bouncy," "Mommy and Daddy," "Happy Beach," and Sleepyhead." Parents and children alike will enjoy this energetic album.
