Playlist 6/19/10

We did not play ANYTHING new this week on Ages 3 and Up!. But then, who says you have to, right? Instead of focusing on new material we decided to focus on Dads, because we were celebrating Father’s Day. We had songs about Dads, father-daughter teams, multiple generations of musical families playing songs about families, AND (my favorite) we had guys singing lullabies. Normally you think of lullabies as a Mom thing, but Dads sing them too, and I think that’s really, incredibly GREAT.

In order:

Frances England– “Daddy O”- Fascinating Creatures
Jad and David Fair– “Grampa’s Songs”- Six Dozen Cookies
The Speks– “Baby’s Dish”- Sing Along Songs From Glasses Island
Banjos For Babes– “Bingo”- Volume One: Classic Children’s Songs
Sarah Lee Guthrie & Family– “Cuz We’re Cousins”- Go Waggaloo
Woody Guthrie– “Wake Up”- Nursery Days
Bob Marley– “Three Little Birds”- B is for Bob
Ziggy Marley with Cedella and Rita Marley– “I Love You Too”- Family Time
Bunny Clogs– “Lullaby Pie 3.14”- More! More! More!
John Upchurch and Mark Greenberg– “Until the Dawn”- John and Mark’s Children’s Record
Matt Clark– “Sleepy Eyes (Rowan’s Lullaby)- Funny Little Fella
The Harmonica Pocket– “Mere Bacche Ki Lore (Hindi Lullaby for My Child)”- Ladybug One
The Jellydots– “Pretty Little Baby”- Changing Skies
Sam Hinton– “The Eagles’s Lullaby”- Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts

Here’s hoping that all the Dads, Step-Dads and Granddads listening (and reading) had an AMAZING Father’s Day!
