Well, summer vacation has arrived again! Unless your child has been designated for summer school (do they still do that?) or is going to camp, they’re home and looking for stuff to do. This week on the show we provide a respite for kids and parents with our annual “Children’s Hour.” We’re featuring songs that can be listened by parents and kids alike ... songs that can become a fun part of road trips in the car, or at the shore, or in the mountains. We’ll hear great music from Greg Brown, Taj Mahal, Dave Fry, Ella Jenkins, Pete Seeger and many more. Family fun … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
