You will probably notice as you drift through the songs on Color Magic that there is a theme to our pediatric insanity. This collection deals with Family Matters. We talk about the excitement of the first day of Pre-School, (Going to Pre-School) the chaos of having to share a bathroom in a large family, (Bathroom Blues) and the happy exhaustion of Parents attempting to set and maintain Family bedtimes, (The Bedtime Bug) for their Kids. Mr. Sackett the Sock Man is a ludicrous peek into the minds of Mr. Tim and Ms Laura, while Modern Girl inspires young Ladies to follow their dreams. Hamburger Blues is a simple down and dirty blues number that celebrates what we all love...food! Just the 6 of Us was inspired by a pregnant friend of ours who thought for a time, because her tummy grew so large, that she was going to have 17 babies. Our imagination went wild, as we thought of all the babies getting to know each other in Mums Tum and using her as a jungle Gym. And so the song was born. Winter in Moscow a live concert performance, is a tribute to travel, and is the tale of us knocking around the world when we were younger!
Ms Lauraâs 2nd grade Teacher, Mrs. Jean Butler, now 93 years old loves to travel. Every summer she would take off to the Himalayas or China or the North Pole, and would regale her class with stories of adventure and romance. We wrote The Teacher for all of our Faculty friends, who still have their faculties because they show their Students how to fly with their minds. The Vegetable Crowd is an odd little ditty about tolerance, understanding and inclusion, while the story of Little Mister, set in the mists of time and the hills of County Clare, lends a clear vision to that elusive thing we call love. Summer in New York pays homage to the Kids that we played to in New England in the 80âs. Those same Kids, now Parents, bring their families to our Concerts.
