Other Interesting Sites

Here are some other good web pages, some of which have nothing to do with music or stories.

Camp Hope A weekend camp for kids who've had someone close to them die. It's a wonderful experience, fun and meaningful, that happens twice a year. I tell stories there, but far more important is the great opportunity for kids to do grief work in a supportive and playful environment.

www.airdefenders.org is a wonderful web site about open burning or trash, which is environmentally very dangerous. I helped to develop some of the material, which includes a video and songs, with a special lesson devoted to songwriting. The site is fun for kids, too.

Bill Harley. Bill is one of my favorite family entertainers in the country. Storyteller, singer, author, his work is worth discovering.

Tom Pease is my dear friend, collaborator and objectively of course, one of the finest performers for children and families that I have ever mentioned. Check out his award-winning recordings, too.

CMN. CMN is the Children's Music Network, a great organization of parents, teachers, kids and musicians (and others) who work with kids. CMN promotes values like diversity, non-violence and environmental respect and responsibility. There is a Midwest chapter, and there is a national gathering annually, and usually a Midwestern gathering, too. It's a good organization to join if you have interest in quality music for kids..

Terry Young has a fine website for kids and families interested in music and values.

Shel Silverstein songs. Not just for kids, and some not for kids at all. But what a great writer.

Randy's Recording is where I've recorded most of my albums. Randy is a great engineer, a fine producer and a deep thinker. What more could you ask for?
