Award-winning Dan
Crow presents five songs to extol the current educational goals of STEM:
“Science, Science, Science,” “Technology,” “You’re an Engineer,” “Seven,” and “Franklin
D. Dime & Abraham Penny.” The musicians give great vocal and instrumental
performances in rock, bluegrass, and jazz musical styles. “Science, Science,
Science” includes beeping SF sounds and states that science is for everyone.
“Technology” includes various novelty sounds ala Spike Jones, celebrating all
sorts of inventions. “You’re an Engineer” explains what engineers do to make
life easier and lists different types of engineers. Math is celebrated in
“Seven” and “Franklin D. Dime & Abraham Penny” which explains the different
money denominations. The five songs are then repeated as karaoke tracks with
the instrumentals and backing vocals included. This album would be a good
enhancement in classrooms to encourage students in these pursuits.
