Three months ago, just after a month-long blogging challenge called NanoPoblano, I took a break from blogging to write some songs. Children’s songs, specifically. The holidays were fast approaching and I have 2 two-year-old grandsons. My big present to each of them was the gift of music.
Henry likes weed whackers and leaf blowers, while Porter is a little obsessed with Curious George and trains. I decided to start with a song about weed whackers.
After finishing the Weed Whacker Wiggle, I tackled leaf blowers, and came up with Blow the Leaves. Those two garden tools (one used in summer, the other in fall) inspired me to write Mud Makes a Mess and Gonna Build a Snowman for the other two seasons.
With the help of my husband and musical partner, we recorded the songs, had them professionally mastered, created an album called Songs for the Seasons, and uploaded them to CDBaby, where you can download all four songs for $4, or individual songs for 99 cents each.
Here are four reasons that I think it’s worth your while to buy this music:
- Spring
- Summer
- Fall
- Winter
Other reasons you might want to download the songs:
- Mud Makes a Mess mentions a worm (bound to make kids squirm).
- Weed Whacker Wiggle brings out the giggles.
- Blow the Leaves will interest anyone who either likes or hates leaf blowers.
- Gonna Build a Snowman has a moral to the story and includes some awesome harmonies.
- We’d really appreciate some reviews!
Here’s the link where you can listen to clips and decide if you want to buy the downloads:
