about
From the CD Let's Get Creative
lyrics
If you want to write poems, read poetry.
If you want to play music, find your key.
If you want to be an actor, learn a part.
If you want to be an painter, study art.
Get creative!
Watch your brain waves bloom and grow!
Get creative!
The library is the place to go!
Find a recipe if you love to cook.
If discovery grabs you, get a science book.
Read a tech magazine if you'd rather invent.
Whatever your spark is, here's a hint...
Chorus
No one can stop you from unlocking your imagination.
Your library card is the magical key to endless inspiration.
Broadway, Memphis, Hollywood!
Pavarotti to Johnny B. Goode!
Pottery, sculpture, ballet, rhyme;
Take it all in, it won't cost a dime!
If you want to play music, find your key.
If you want to be an actor, learn a part.
If you want to be an painter, study art.
Get creative!
Watch your brain waves bloom and grow!
Get creative!
The library is the place to go!
Find a recipe if you love to cook.
If discovery grabs you, get a science book.
Read a tech magazine if you'd rather invent.
Whatever your spark is, here's a hint...

HORRIBLE SONGS FOR CHILDREN
by Fatcat & FishfaceMaybe an acquired taste to an American ear, but give this CD more than one listen. We (Lisa and I) love it! Fresh, funny, crazy, catchy, childlike, simple yet masterful. Accent hint: neever = never

The Rap Guide to Evolution Revised

All On A Sunday Afternoon
by Sugar Free AllstarsFunky, fun, rockin dance music for kids that you'll want to play even when the kids aren't around. You won't find a better sounding kids CD on bandcamp!
