By Hap Palmer

Guide With Complete Lyrics Included

Recording Number: HP105 CD or Cassette

The soothing voices and rich harmonies of Hap and his sister Penny are accompanied by the gentle sounds of acoustic guitar, piano, string quartet, woodwind ensemble, mandolin, dobro, fiddle and accordion. Children also learn about the music of many cultures by hearing the sounds of instruments from around the world. From China, the bamboo flute and gu-jen (Chinese harp); from Spain the Spanish guitar; from France the celesta, and from Nigeria the shekene, kannago and  dundun. Native American instruments include the Chippewa flute, North American council drum, tarahuamara drum, chicahuasti, and Yaqui dance belt. Children will be fascinated by this mixture of musical styles and rhythms which provide a peaceful transition between play time and quiet time.
