"I have conducted interviews with many senior citizens who were asked to recall a song, rhyme, or game that could be played with a baby on their lap.1 Those citizens over 80 were able to offer a remarkably diverse repertoire. When other in the 60- to 80-year-old bracket were asked the same question, only some repertoire could be delivered. A third group between 40 and 60 recalled very little, and parents who were 40 years old and younger essentially "didn't know nothin'." What happened to this genre of literature that so perfectly fostered musical growth in infants and toddlers?"

Kindermusik recaptures the songs, wiggles, bounces, and games that our great-grandparents knew, and they live again for a new generation.

I love your seeing your sweet face on your blog! You are a treasure and I only wish we lived closer.
I saw John F. at the convention in San Antonio 3 years ago. He was so fantastic! I was riveted to him. I have a CD/DVD combo from his company called Move It and another CD called Keep the Beat and they are very worthwhile to own.
Your Texas friend, Heidi
