Turn On The Music
Hap Palmer, Hap-Pal Music HP150E Ages 6-8 Hap Palmer probably has one of the smothest, most
comforting voices in all of children's music. Combined with classy production, intelligent
wordplay and keen, gentle humor it makes his work a three-time Parents' Choice Award
winner. Palmer chips away at gender barriers with songs like "Francie Had A
Football"; sheds light on the consequences of irresponibility in "Amanda
Schlupp"; reminds kids that adults were once kids in "When Daddy Was A Little
Boy"; and slips in a encouraging word about self-confidence in "You Can Do
It"; "When you swing and miss remember that/soon you'll get another chance at
bat". Good advice for any age. |
