"I cannot count the number of people who thoroughly enjoyed both listening and singing along to your sessions -- it is a day that I will remember and cherish." Hosts of Museums of the Arroyo Day from a pair of May 2005 concerts
"Four CDs please -- I want to share this with our friends." Parents at a recent concert
This album shares songs from Gigi & Mike's folk music live cable show in the San Gabriel Valley area of Southern California. Kids join Gigi & Mike for in-studio sing-alongs that combine music from the 1700s through 1920s. Some songs will be known and loved by adults; others are new and old favorites of kids.
Gigi & Mike have been amazed that families just don't seem to sing as much any more. The songs we grew up with aren't in their lives, except perhaps at church or Scout camp. Parents aren't as comfortable as older generations were in singing with their kids. Schools are finding less and less time in the school week to introduce songs for teaching about language arts, social culture, and history.
So Gigi & Mike's sing-along songs are trying to bring folk singing back into the family and back into children's lives. And with "Crunchy PartyMix," Gigi & Mike are glad to share that adventure with you, even if you don't live in the Los Angeles Basin to come to some of their frequent family-fun hootenannies for young and old.
