Am I ever excited! A few weeks ago I got in the mail this fun CD that’s all colorful and cute called “Be The Tree” by a new group called “Boy in the Shade”. The girls and I popped it in the CD player in the car to take a listen and although they kind of rolled their eyes (they’re a little older than preschoolers now, remember, they’re in their teen years) we all giggled and laughed at the fun tunes and adorable words of the songs that were playing – me in particular.

I remember the days when my girls were little, listening to the same kiddy songs over and over. I do believe that repetition is a good thing for the preschool age group but after a while it can drive a mommy just a bit batty.

That’s where these guys come in. The music and the words of these songs, though geared toward the preschool ages, are still enjoyable for a mom (and dad) too.

So I was thrilled when the two founders of this group agreed to get on the phone with me and talk about their project. You’ll enjoy the interview. These guys love kids and love music. And they have a passion for helping kids develop a love for music through their work together. They’ve involved their families in the project on all levels too – I just really appreciate what they’re doing and am glad to spread the word about them.

We’ve put a couple of song snippets in there too so you can hear a bit of the music on the CD and even better – I’ve got a CD to give away to one of our readers/listeners!

First, here’s the interview:
