YOUâVE GOT TO BE A KID TO GET IN!

This CD contains 15 original songs designed to reflect the joys and troubles of childhood, presented in intelligent ways. Produced to the high quality standards of most classical CDs, all the music was performed by top musicians, many of whom have also accompanied Ann Murray.

The vocal group is âThe Freerose Corporationâ, and features a variety of talented vocalists with support groups of school children. Chief among the major vocalists is the beloved Irish Tenor, John McDermott. John brings powerful solo performances to several outstanding songs. His mellow tones on the song âCampfire Nightâ evoke deep emotion in every listener, from pre-school children to their loving grandparents. In âLightning and Thunderâ, John McDermott brings excitement to a story meant to quell childrenâs fears of thunder. With a Johnny Cash-like interpretation, McDermottâs vocals and the magnificent musicianship by the outstanding band bring the authentic sound effects to life. A solo stint on the âIn the Countryâ segment of a song give John McDermott an opportunity to belt out the lyrics like a country rocker.

Throughout the album, songs demonstrate an understanding of and respect for children. They provide encouragement by showing empathy with the child. âA Grand Childâ promotes the importance of grandparents. âBig Yellow School Busâ reflects the real life of bussed schoolchildren. âBig Dogâ conjures a fantasy of world travel and adventure with a trusting pet. All fifteen songs carry a happy message of understanding and support for a child.
