Here's a little green for St. Patrick's Day: LMNO Music - Green by Enzo Garcia. Green is one of eight albums that were originally created for LMNO Music, Garcia's music program for young children in San Francisco (others are Pink, Yellow, Violet, et cetera).
Garcia's music is folk music in its truest sense -- music made by and for people, not for the marketplace (although yes, this album is available for purchase). Traditional songs such as "When We All Go Marching" and "Ten Little Rattlesnakes" are intermingled with several of Garcia's originals songs. Unusual instruments and combinations of instruments, songs representing a variety of cultures and languages, and simple but clean production make Green a fantastic album for children and families.
Listen to "This Old Man" to hear how Garcia uses layers of sound to make a simple, repetitive song lively and engaging.

I love that song! Add Ralph Carney's crazy slide clarinet (!) to Enzo's playfulness and the results just crack me up.
You know, you can buy it at Pokey Pup, too! There might even be a couple of freebies left....
