Pre-S—Gr 2



            Multi-award winning Stephen Michael Schwartz performs nine energetic and toe-tapping original songs on his fourth solo album, in pop, bluegrass, rock, polka, and Hawaiian folk. As a former member of the trio “Parachute Express,” he has toured China on behalf of the Gymboree International Play & Music Program; and as a result, was also invited to give solo performances in that country. The backup instrumentalists give outstanding performances on guitar, slack key guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, banjo, keyboards, tuba, harmonica, drums and percussion. Just one taste of “Alphabet Soup” puts a smile on my face. A “Bubble Gum Friend” will stick with you to the end. Being with “Grandma and Grandpa” is like a vacation. Shine for those who’ve lost their glow because “That’s What Love Can Do.” You’re happy everywhere you go; “Ditto Kiddo,” that’s the way I’m feeling, too. She’s from the land where they say, “No, No, No, No, No.”  A little angel with “Little Fingers, Tiny Toes” brings magic to the simplest things. A child learns to play “Hopscotch” at school. “Hello Gymbo” (the mascot of the Gymboree Play & Music Program), it’s a beautiful day. Young listeners will love dancing and singing along with these catchy tunes.
