Song Title Time Price Visit our audio page for more information Stomp Yer Feet! is a CD full of 15 songs for kids that won't drive parents crazy. Except for maaaaaybe one song you'll know it when you hear it! But seriously, the idea behind this CD is to try to provide great music for kids in a context that they are familiar with but with a new twist. You'll recognize most of the songs, but they are more folksy and bluesy this time around. It's my own Johnny Bregar twist on some of the classics. I hope you and your kids like it! I never thought that my first solo release was going to be for kids. Not that that's bad, but I just sort of pictured myself as a rock star and never imagined that the first song on my CD was going to be If You're Happy and You Know it BUT Maura and I had a baby boy named Tobias and well, I started listening to kid's music a lot and found that I was wishing for something a little more fresh. I wanted something that had some soul and could groove a little. I mean kids are fully capable of enjoying adult sounding music, but you just need to sing something they can relate to. That's what this CD is all about. Most of the songs are all me, playing various instruments and implements but I got some help from the Ballard Singers, my brother Uncle Stan, my wife Maura and my son Toby. Oh, and Paul Elliott who is a mighty fine fiddle player. To make this a fully interactive project, rather than writing out lyrics to songs that you mostly know already, I'm providing song notes that you can share with your child. See if you can pick out the instruments and see if you can get your child to recognize them as well. How cool would it be if your kid could pick out a Fender Rhodes electric piano on the radio some day??? I first heard about this CD when it got a great review on NPR. I ordered it and love it. The music is updated age-appropriate sing alongs with a lot of strong blues and jazz influences. Perfect for my 18 month old daughter to listen to without making me want to pull ny hair out.
