Porgy & Bess

Search: Those Bones
from: Decca

Release Date September 12, 2006
The big hype on this recording is that it is the Porgy and Bess that Gershwin really wanted. Well here's a strange problem to consider. In 1936 Gershwin recorded excerpts from Porgy and Bess, and Lawrence Tibbett sang "The Buzzard Song" with Gershwin conducting. (This is a must for anyone loving this opera: Helen Jepson, Lawrence Tibbett and Gershwin conducting. Wow.) Now if Gershwin didn't want it in the score, why did he record it?

Five Little Monkeys

Search: Those Bones
by: Kimbo Educational

Release Date April 05, 2000
There are so many junk CDs available in the market, but I found this CD worthwhile purchasing. Three reasons: 1. Traditional songs included which your children don't want to miss, 2. This CD includes printed lyrics of AND suggested activities and books. 3. Children's voices in the CD seem to encourage children to sing out. Only singing songs can be boring, but as a parent I find it more meaningful to sing songs, stretch them to other activities, and extend it to the literature. I wish other record companies create the children's CD like this one.
