Life on a Trampoline


Life on a Trampoline. CD. Performed by Randy Sharp and Dave Kinnoin. Approx. 39 min. Prod. by Song Wizard Records. 2017. $14.98. 
Grades K – 4

            Award-winning Randy & Dave present 12 original wacky songs in several musical styles including polka, folk, country, jazz, rock, blues, and pop on this second album. Randy and a couple of guest musicians handle the excellent performances on guitar, bass, electric sitar, banjo, mandolin, Dobro, saxophone, harmonica, keys, electric piano and drums. “Enjoy It While You Can” details the shenanigans at the fish cannery. A kid hopes that no one remembers the disasters he caused the “Last Time I Was Here.” “Squadoosh” is an imaginary monster. One song is “Not About” anything, anyone, or any place. “Betty Mumbles” so that her words have a mashed potatoes sound. One person is “Happy to Help” as long as it doesn’t put him out too much. A couple of siblings declare that “We Don’t Share.” The title song tells of the short kid who loves flying high in “Life on a Trampoline.” The other songs include “Semolina,” “That Thing,” “A Weird Thing Happened,” and “So What If I Do?” This funny album will keep all its listeners amused and entertained.
