Music - May 2005
Fred
Koch
As parents, we are
literally deluged with music. To my ears, most of it is mediocre at best, so pay
attention to this month’s picks because we only spotlight what we feel is
really worthy of your attention. This month we highlight two of the CD projects
that have found their way into my “got to find time to write about these CDs”
pile.
WE
ALL LAUGH IN THE SAME LANGUAGE, by
Marla Lewis, Plum
Juice Records, $15, www.marlalewis.com;
ages 5-10.
I would recommend
buying this CD if just for the title track. Not that the other songs aren’t
outstanding, because they are. It is simply that “We All Laugh in the Same
Language” is an incredible song.

New York-based
teacher and songwriter Marla Lewis has
released a terrific new CD, We All Laugh in the Same Language,
that incorporates solid production,
a variety of bouncy musical styles and, above all, strong creative
lyrics marinated with a honey-dipped
voice reminiscent of Jessica Harper. Why is this album miles ahead of
' most first musical recording forays today? Read on! |

I had no idea when I started The International Breast Milk Project just 3 years ago that so many other moms would also want to help in this special way. I have been equally amazed at the outpouring of support from dads, grandparents and friends – those of you without freezers full of milk - like Marla Lewis, who has written award-winning children’s songs about our program, or Peggy Ehrensperger, a health teacher from Long Island, who raised thousands of dollars by collecting change in bottles, or my dad, Bill Harlan, who talks me through challenging times by constantly quoting lines from the movie Airplane: “Just want to let you know, we’re all counting on you.”
-- Jill Harlan Youse, Founder and Executive Director, International Breast Milk Project
