Album Notes

It had been a good 20 years since Gwendolyn listened to any children's music when a friend made the suggestion she do an album for kids. She imagined what kind of music she'd like to hear if she was four again and out came the nutty, irresistibly playful tunes of Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang.

The Good Time Gang sounds different than most children's music due to Gwendolyn's refreshing anything-goes attitude towards music. This approach allows her to break through the standard nursery rhyme formula, and create a new sound kids respond to immediately. Using her natural ability to do voices, she developed a variety of characters who help sing along. Together, they take their listeners on a silly-willy adventure through music learning and childhood fun. The mood is both nurturing and spontaneous as well as goofy and sweet. Best of all, the songs help children learn more about the world around them. "The Selfish Shellfish," for example, tells a tale of why sharing is important. "Farm Animal Friends" imitates the crazy noises of barnyard critters like roosters, cows, ducks, hens, sheep, pigs and horses. Other songs include lessons in manners, making new friends, and the tune "Scrub, Scrub, Scrub" even makes taking a bath seem like a whooping good time!

Music is an ideal outlet for children and Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang is a perfect way to entertain children ages 2 through 6 while teaching them valuable skills. Better yet, the songs are performed in a manner parents can enjoy with their children! Whatever age you are, Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang is sure to put a smile on your face.
