 Bon Appétit
   by Bill Russell 

Picture
Purchase CD
c: $15.00

Another gumbo (Louisiana soup or stew) of traditional songs and singing games, Bon appétit features a variety of musical styles. The songs and games were selected both for their “joie de vivre” and their usefulness in the classroom. BILL’s own compositions, including the title song, open up possibilities for word play as well as movement. 

Lyrics and translations included, along with directions for the traditional singing games. There is also a three-part recorder arrangement for one of the songs.

 Produced by Ken Whiteley.  CDJ-1037CD
