Music - May 2005
Fred
Koch
As parents, we are
literally deluged with music. To my ears, most of it is mediocre at best, so pay
attention to this month’s picks because we only spotlight what we feel is
really worthy of your attention. This month we highlight two of the CD projects
that have found their way into my “got to find time to write about these CDs”
pile.
WE
ALL LAUGH IN THE SAME LANGUAGE, by
Marla Lewis, Plum
Juice Records, $15, www.marlalewis.com;
ages 5-10.
I would recommend
buying this CD if just for the title track. Not that the other songs aren’t
outstanding, because they are. It is simply that “We All Laugh in the Same
Language” is an incredible song.

a variety of bouncy musical styles and, above all, strong creative
lyrics marinated with a honey-dipped
voice reminiscent of Jessica Harper. Why is this album miles ahead of
' most first musical recording forays today? Read on! |

Dear Marla;
Although you may be aware by now that you have won 3rd Prize in the Children's category with your colorful story song "Mighty Jackie (The Strikeout Queen" I still wanted to contact you and offer my personal Congratulations!!!!!
.
I must tell you that as the father of a year round high level club soccer daughter , and a fan of the movie " A League of Their Own", I was completely riveted to your lyrics as it unfolded. And the music wasn't bad either. In fact, as a veteran 25 year songwriter myself , the highest compliment I can pay you is to say I wish I'd written it myself. And coming in 3rd in one of our most competitive categories traditionally, with over 300 entries in that category alone in this current edition, was surely no small feat either. I hope you can take that fact as the creative validation of your obvious talent it is meant to be and let it resonate for a while. "
-- Alan Roy Scott, hit songwriter, Co-Founder, Unisong International Songwriting contest
