For the folks who are asking and are interested…Here are some excerpts from old tunes when all the kids were young/little at home…stuff we did at county fairs, festivals, etc….a long, long time ago (early Y2000s)…in what now seems like a galaxy far, far away…
04-Labamba Labamba
“The Boy” (Jonathan) at age 12 sings his trademark song — he’s now in his early 20’s and learning some good Spanish in Los Angeles!
08-O-Si-Funi-Mungu O-Si-Funi-Mungu
an incredible African Spiritual…wow…this is a song with Swahili… [Background percussion from First Call with their permission]
07-When-You-Believe When You Believe
A family trademark…makes you think you can do anything…this one starts out in Hebrew by Anjuli, Jonathan & Ari before we all join in…
02-Liberty Liberty
JennyRose fiddling around in the bluegrass; we named our family dog after this tune!
05-Minstrel-Boy Minstrel Boy
Jack on the tin whistle [ya think?] since kids won’t let him play piano anymore! Features Jackie in this ancient Irish Aire
06-Shut-De-Do Shut De Do
A great Caribbean tune and good example of the kids’ percussion skills also heard in Liberty above
09-Jesus-Lover Jesus Lover Of My Soul
A song performed acapella by all the boys…er…except for just five girls in this one…
01-America-Beautiful America The Beautiful
Arianna America (#4 girl) STILL thinks this is about her! See her at ariannaamerica.com & actor reel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zpJV7SCOzg]
