PS-Gr 2—

Multi-award winning Tony Halchak (aka Tony Pete) performs ten songs on this first album for children.
The upbeat tunes are in bluegrass, folk, folk pop, and pop musical styles. With the exception of the drums on one track, there are no credits for the instrumentalists, but I detected the following instruments at least: guitar, banjo, harmonica, and drums. The vocals and background instrumental performances are excellent and professional. Come sing with me and “Sing La La La.” In “Why How Now,” the song asks why do animals make the sounds that they make. “When I Grow Up,” I can be anything I wanna be. “My Shadow” always has my back. Tony sings alphabet backwards several times in “The Backwards Alphabet Song.” The “Kazoo Crew” performs a short kazoo concert. “Make a Silly Sound” when you are feeling sad. “I Love to Explore” the many things I’ve never seen before. The best time of day is when it is “Time To Put Our Toys Away.” The final song is a sweet lullaby—“Sleep Loved”—in which angels are asked to watch sleeping children from the heavens above. This upbeat album will appeal to the whole family.
