Album Notes

Some Great News!!...Miss Willow's Fence Row has received a nomination in the Just Plain Folks Music Awards Contest in the...Children's Genre; and our song, Some Day Some Way...has also received a Song Nomination!
********************************************

Wy Griffith and I are tickled to announce Miss Willow's Fence Row, a 2008 Parents' Choice Award Winner. If you're a parent who's choosy about what your kids are listening to...and like music with an emphasis on positive values, this CD is for you.

You will not find ho-hum melodies or lyrics that talk down to your child. You will find songs that vary in genre and mood from fun and lively to a few that are more serious yet tenderly written. All gently teach.

The animals outside my window seem to work at getting along. Blue jays don't fuss all that much and even the red squirrels try to play fair. They go about their every day activities working and playing in harmony...and if there is some ruffled fur?..They work it out. The Fence Row families needed their stories told...so Wy and I wrote these songs.

Miss Willow's Fence Row is perfect for both home, daycare facility or classroom. Several of the songs have seasonal emphasis (Spring Cleaning Time, Berry Berry Good Time, The Babies Are Here, Blessings, Big Blizzard, Snuggled In With Love)and will work well with lesson plans and the school-year calendar.

Several folks helped make this CD possible. Their web site links are located on the left side of this page.
