Music reviews of Parades and Panoramas: 25 Songs Collected by Carl SandburgMusic Review: Great for the whole familyWe have a five year old and the requisite library of kid's music, ranging from the bad (Disney) to the pretty good (Laurie Berkner, Ralph's World, some Raffi, etc). This is definitely my favorite of all of them (even compared to DZ's others). It is not insipid, dumbed-down, or guaranteed to produce parental insantiy. Zane's inspiration is to recall that folk music was originally meant to be sung (and listened to) by everyone, young and old. There was no such thing as "children's music" 100 years ago (perhaps nursery rhymes). And, as all parents know, kids have a wonderful ability to rise to the occasion. So, when presented with a CD that didn't sound much like Disney or Raffi (and suspiciously like some of Dad's music), my daughter did rise to the occasion. She listened intently to the lyrics about the Titanic, trains, hoboes, gamobliers and began to hum along. She then asked us about stuff - "What was the TItanic?" So we had fun and learned at the same time. Perhaps the ultimate tribute to DZ's vision came last weekend when we were all working in the garden and my daughter suddenly launched into "Son of a Gambolier", only she called it 'Son of a Chandelier". Brilliant!
