Album Notes

What is this Mrs. Dorothy & Her Traveling Shaky Egg Band? Mrs. Dorothy is Dorothy LeBlanc of Baton Rouge, LA, a 49-year-old mommy turned musician. The children who attend her interactive performances (or who listen to her CDs) magically morph into her Shaky Egg Band through the playfulness of percussion! Though she received her formal training at Louisiana State University, she will tell you that her career in music evolved outside of the traditional classroom.

Her early musical influences were very ecclectic...ranging from folk music to bluegrass to traditional country to big band to rock and roll. She herself did not make it to center stage as a musician until her own children were grown, her husband had retired, and she had successfully tackled a pesky run-in with breast cancer. Suddenly, Dorothy felt that this was her time to get out there and express herself musically, and express herself she has!

She currently works as a performer/singer/songwriter, focusing primarily on her career as a children's musician. She serves as the music teacher at 7 early learning centers in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, area! The children she teaches are a constant source of inspiration to her as a songwriter.

In her debut album, "Bluegrass?? Everyone NOSE grass is Green!", she tackles such weighty issues as loose teeth, the 'gimmes', cleanliness, and acceptance of people with differences, all performed with a bluegrass flair! (Further albums in the series will boast other musical genres...rock, folk, jazz, blues, etc.) You can contact Mrs. Dorothy through her website at www.shakyeggband.com.
