There are also inspiring stories of real-life fiddlers, teachers, and students. “Alice Johnson’s Jig,” “It Starts with your Feet,” “Follow the Lead Sheet,” “Have Mercy,” “Old Uncle Dudy,” “Cactus Pete,” “Mary Ann the Fiddler,” “Shopping for a Fiddle Blues,” “Practice, Practice, Practice,” “Flyers on the Wall,” “Gettin’ to the Gig on Time,” “I’m Gonna Fiddle in a Contest,” “Play Harmony,” “Out of Fiddle”

Floatin’ Along   Greenblatt & Seay		CD: $ 10.00
“Does it trip preschoolers’ music-and-fun switches? The answer, so far as I can tell, is yes, indeed. This is a homemade, from scratch, warm-out-of-the-oven gift of original children’s songs. Mostly, it’s accompanied by very simple guitar strumming, but there’s also the occasional fiddle, spoons, harmonica and hand-held drum. This reviewer particularly liked the sea-shanty quality of “Bath Time Again” (“I’ll bring my rubber ducky/lather up the bubbles/I’ll bring my rubber ducky/haul away the toys”) and the guileless sweetness of “Floatin’ Along” (“Floatin’ along in your sleep in the middle of a perfect dream... Floatin’ along with the sound of a song your daddy wrote just for you and for me to sing you floatin’ from dream to dream”). These are musical sensibilities in whose capable hands (and hearts) you can feel safe and confident leaving your children.” - Bill Fisher, Victory Music Review, October 2001 Many of the lively songs on this CD were inspired by Debby & David’s own two rambunctious sons when they were very little and still cute. To be enjoyed by the whole family. All Songs Written & Performed by Greenblatt & Seay. “Whenever Mommy’s Cold”, “I Wanna Hear the Sound”, “Ugly Bug”, “What Does a Teddy Bear Eat for Breakfast?”, “Sat on a Cat”, “My Name Is Baby Wilson”, “Bath Time Again”, “Beepin’ Faces”, “Django’s Jacket”, “I Don’t Want No Babies in My Bed”, “Call Me”, “Gonna Getcha Train”, “Railroad Whistles”, “Use the Blues”, “Floatin’ Along”, “Banana Boy”

Freakin’ Fiddles   Greenblatt & Seay		CD: $ 10.00
“Greenblatt & Seay play folkish music aimed at a children’s audience. It brings back pleasant memories of Hap Palmer and the days when my children were younger. Their songs are well played, particularly the fiddle work...it does not patronize its youthful audience...This album would be a worthy addition to any preschool or day care’s collection of music, as well as those who have small children in the home. I could listen to those twin fiddles all day long.” - Allen Price, Victory Music Review, December 2001 Features luscious twin and triple fiddles, clever lyrics and fabulous vocal harmonies, set to wonderful upbeat melodies that are sure to make you want to dance. All songs written and performed by Greenblatt & Seay. “It Starts With Your Feet”, “I Adore a Hora”, “Waltzing’s As Easy As”, “Avoca Polka”, “Don’t Sing at the Table”, “Thingamajig”, “Somebodies’ Wives”, “Play Harmony”, “Alice Johnson’s Jig”, “Mary Ann the Fiddler”

James Whitcomb Riley, The Fiddling Children’s Poet   Deborah Greenblatt		CD: $ 10.00
Deborah was inspired to craft melodies for some of fellow fiddler Riley’s poems when she realized that the rhythm of the words to “Raggedy Man” matched that of the rhythm of the notes in the fiddle hoedown “Ragtime Annie” and that the cadence of the syllables in “When the Frost Is on the Punkin’” lined up perfectly with the notes in “Turkey in the Straw”. Using these tunes and Riley’s own words from some of his lectures (he toured with Edgar Allan Poe) and letters (he corresponded with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow), Deborah weaves a whimsical glimpse into the world of this famous Hoosier children’s poet. “At Auntie’s House”, “Give Me the Baby”, “Uncle Sidney’s Logic”, “When the Frost Is on the Punkin’”, “The Funniest Thing in the World”, “The Willow”, “Little Orphan Annie”, “The Raggedy Man”, “Whatever the Weather May Be”, “My Fiddle”, “A Dream of Autumn”, “Arkansas Traveler”, “Best of All”
