What is it about your music that resonates so deeply with children? I believe that my recordings are heard by children as coming from a friend; they sense me as one who loves them and is offering fun and interesting songs for play and imagining. It’s a privilege and an honor to be a friend to countless children.
Do you have a favorite song on the new album? On my new Owl Singalong CD, I have many favorites: The title song, “Dog on the Bus,” “Somos el Barco,” and “Abiyoyo” are among them.
As a veteran performer, what are you looking forward to this time around? Each year, I’m a new person on the concert stage, curious to see how we’ll do this time singing together. And I get excited to present a new song or two among the old faves. I just love how the love in the concert hall is palpable, especially with so many “beluga grads” always in attendance. This is what I look forward to.
