Podcast: Not For Kids Only
Episode #16-33 | airing 8-17-16
It’s been really warm here in the Northeast with humidity levels higher than usual during the Summer. I have noted a distinct decrease in the number of kids coming out to play in these sultry days. I can recall that by this time in the Summer I was bored with the time off and secretly wished school would begin again. I never admitted this to any of my friends but I’m pretty sure they felt the same way.
This is the perfect time to introduce your kids to some great music which holds the interest of your children and secretly doesn’t insult the parents with a lot of nonsense.
This week I’ve pulled together a bunch of tunes that are entertaining for parents and children alike. So call your family together for an hour great music!
