True Americana Music! Come Dance and Sing is a CD that resonate with all Americans. Call them folk songs or songs that folks sing, the selections in "Come Dance and Sing" invite the whole family to join in the music that has been an inseparable part of our American cultural landscape since the beginning of our history. These old songs are not merely relics of bygone days before recordings, radio and television, but time-tested "reliables" that are still great FUN to sing! After family dinners, on long car rides or camping trips they provided a shared experience that drew the generations together and are still a living part of our musical heritage, our legacy from the people who built America as we find it today. Whether familiar ballads like "Oh! Susanna" and "Red River Valley"; newly rediscovered humorous ditties like "There Ain't No Bugs On Me" (revived for a recent television commercial); simple melodies that invite action - clapping, dancing and tapping along, like "Polly Wolly Doodle All Day" and "Finger Snappin' Blues"; or tongue twisters that call for a response like "Hagdalena Magdalena", these are songs the whole gang can sing. They have always been our favorites, and even today, everyone loves to hear and sing them. Please sing along with the recording and then take the songs with you wherever your path may lead. Oh! and pass them along.
