MY TURKEY WANTS HIS DRUMSTICK BACK! And, Other Childrens Songs is a CD of original, catchy offbeat tunes and tales for children ages 2-7. All words, music and vocals are by Leslie E. Hendricks, and the CD includes 11 songs in various styles of musical arrangements that are upbeat and fun; both to listen, as well as dance along to; from Country to Calypso, Jazz to Irish jig... and more! The lyrics are pure and wholesome, witty and humorous, and the content of the songs are meant to encourage childrens self esteem, creativity, individuality and positive problem-solving skills. Adults also enjoy the music for its pure nostalgic quality. In fact, many of the songs are remnants of Leslies own childhood memories. For instance, Rosas Pancake Hat was based on a large pancake her father had made for her at breakfast when she was about 7 years old. Dad had lots of batter left over and decided to make a huge pancake with it. To be funny, he put the pancake on my head. Needless to say, we both giggled. Though it was silly, it was a memorable moment. And, never forgetting that experience, Leslie has turned memory into magical song! Originally recorded at RIMO SOUND in West Orange, NJ, musical arrangements are by composer/musician, Dave Rimelis.
