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.

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! |

An INSPIRING Teacher!!! My third grade class begged her to come sing with us. She coordinated songs to go with our curriculum, including: We Love To Read, Home Again (about the Solar System) and Take Notes. I asked Marla to send all of her CD's to me when I moved to Florida so that I could share her music with my new class. When the package arrived, my second grader ripped it from my hands and ran to the CD Player. He wanted to hear - I love foods that start with M. His teacher loved it so much, she plays the CD for her class."I love songs that start with M" -Thanks,Marla!
