PUMKIDS - Tuneful Tales For Kids and Kin
Fall 2007 MusicReview:
Songs fueled by heart and delivered via stand-out vocal harmonies and acoustic instrumentals add up to listening pleasure for ears of any age thanks to the talents of Rick Scott, Shari Ulrich and Joe Mock. Subjects range from the rewards of practice, practice, practice ("Annabelle's Fiddle") and the pleasures of getting around, whether on foot or in a wheelchair ("Good Footin'"), to home, sweet, home ( "Bowen Island"). Fred Penner is a guest vocalist and the CD includes a lovely pair of all-embracing songs written by Scott, Penner and album producer Valley Hennell for the 2006 World Congress on Down Syndrome.
