Album Notes

Clever lyrics abound with goofy puns, zany word plays, and tongue twisters. With inventive tunes, fabulous guitar work, and sensitivity to values such as personal integrity and ecological awareness, Nancy shares her hilariously upside down perspective. The CD also includes computer video selections of her popular comedy performance pieces Cat and Mouse and The Shower Song. Ages 7-12
Nancy is the winner of the 2002 Connecticut Comedy Festival and has a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Connecticut Songwriters Association

Parents' Choice Gold Award

"Nancy Tucker, a gifted acoustic guitarist, inhabits a deliciously offbeat alternative universe that inspires children's music to tumble into being with riotous abandon. And Tucker plays her voice as adroitly as she strums her guitar.

A sampling: Can't sleep? Instead of counting sheep, listen to "Flying Toes" and count "1 dragonfly sneeze, 1 chattering breeze, 1 guinea pig bouncing on springs." In "Hats on Bees," you'll find "flies with pants, suits on plants, glasses on nearsighted ants." And then there's "Frank Stein," a rib-tickling twist on those nighttime, monster-in-the-closet fears, about a little ghoulie who huddles in his coffin, clutches his "teddy snake" and waits for his "mummy" to slither up the stairs and assure him that there are no children with "white teeth and shiny clean hair … ew!" under his bed." - Los Angeles Times, August 10, 2006
