Best-selling
kindie artist Laurie Berkner and her band perform 16 original and lively songs,
mostly in pop rock musical style, but with a couple of Latin folk tunes and a cappella
pieces included for good measure. Laurie’s soaring vocals are joined by a great children's chorus. Her background musicians perform with expertise on
guitar, bass, violin, keyboards, organ, saxophones, trumpet, drums and
percussion. Those impatiently waiting for others to get ready cry, “Let’s
Go!” With a beautiful minor tune, Laurie explains that a lot of movement helps
warm one up “When It’s Cold.” Halloween is the time to wonder “What Am I Gonna
Be?” In “The Superhero Handwashing Song,” are instructions for effective
hand washing. “I Saw a Butterfly,” so I purchased a hat, a jacket, pants, boots,
and a scarf because I’m cold. I’m going to the lake and relax while “I’m On
Vacation.” When “It’s Time to Eat,” we will have mac and cheese, vegetables,
tacos, guacamole, apples, bananas, and strawberries. It is time to quieten down
and “Listen to the Sounds,” such as breathing, heartbeat, children playing,
traffic, etc. “It’s Hard to Be 3” because everyone says the opposite of what I
say. “The Superhero Mask Song” tells children the reasons to wear a mask (although
it is not quite true that germs, especially viruses, cannot get in or out
of the paper or fabric masks most people wear). The other songs include “Jumping
Jack,” “Take a Look at My Face (emotions),” “Tied My Shoes,” “One Step (with
whistling),” “Happy New Year,” and “Beautiful Light.” Another terrific winning
album from this seasoned performer.
