My family have been enjoying these CDs and books for awhile now and it inspired a post a week or so ago of more things for adults as well on my blog. I wanted to share the kids links here as they are too good to pass up. Mike Seeger is more straight Traditional, but is inspired by Appalachia and studies traditional mountain music. Gotta love the Mitch Barrett CD. Both parents and kids will like that one.
* Mitch Barrett - http://southernartistry.org/Mitch_Barrett (I Ain't Lyin' I'm Tellin' A Story is a great CD for car rides and bedtime. Not only will the kids love it, the parents will too. Mitch is also a musician and does music for both kids and adults.)
* A is for Appalachia - http://lindahagerpack.com (beautiful children's book for all ages. If you want to teach your child about the culture of Appalachia, you need this book.)
* American Folk Songs for Children by Mike and Peggy Seeger - www.amazon.com/American-Songs-Children-Peggy-Seeger/dp/B0000003EU
(traditional children's songs that are so easy to learn)
Enjoy taking a look at these. They are worth it. I'm getting on a promotional kick for Appalachian artists of all types. It's the future of the mountains as it sustained us in the past.
