New CD
Jim’s new release, Music Play for Folks of All Stripes, features 15 brand new songs! And never before has Jim been so proud of all the possibilities for play! There are clap-alongs, finger plays, pretend games and imaginative dances — all suitable for playrooms and family rooms as well as classrooms, libraries and symphony halls.
And, for the first time ever, a DVD featuring live-action music videos relating to selected songs is included in the package.
As always, the unifying theme is play!
