More about Fishin' With Ish
“Fishin’ With Ish” has twenty one (21) of Ken’s
favorite and most requested songs; children songs that adults love and adult
songs that children love, songs that invite participation of all ages. They are
spirited fun songs for listening, singing, howling, stomping, calling out and
laughing along for the whole family. Seventy minutes of music, great for those
long car rides. Songs include, “Fishin’ With Ish”, “Old Saint Helen”, “Some
Houses”, Suzy and the Alligator, “I Am a Pizza” and the song that brings a tear
to many a parent's eye, “I Love Daddy”.
What listeners have to say:
Its delightful for my children
(age 4 and 9) and my husband and me. We like hearing about not only fun,
silly songs but ones with messages of tolerance and treating the earth
respectfully. Thanks for making this recording.
Barbara Murray - Mother
I can't tell you how much I am
enjoying this CD! Boy if I was in the classroom I would be using it
everyday. "Some Houses" would be right on the mark for unit on families
and homes. "Little Blue Top" for stewardship of earth. "Open a Book"
would be a great way to cue kids to come to the rug to listen to a
story. "The Color Song" for teaching tolerance. and so much more just
for FUN. How did you ever learn to speak so fast? "The Snowman Song" is
unbelievable! I love "I Can't Find My Invisibility Cloak". My daughter
and I (she works with little ones at daycare) howled when we heard
"I Love Daddy" it was comical and so sweet! Thanks for the fun!

We got Ken's CD "Fishin with Ish"
when we heard him do a storytelling talk for our mom's group. My 4 yr
old immediately wanted to listen to it, and hasn't asked for anything
else since! We listen to it every time we are in the car, and it makes
the trip FUN!!! We all (including my 2 yr old) sing along and at any
given time during the day, my kids break into song. Thanks Ken for such
friendly, warm entertaining music! It is a really great CD!

I LOVE your CD, but
especially the way you arranged "The Color Song"! I'm always
interested to hear other people's versions of my songs. You gave
it a really cool beat and tweaked the message to make it your own.
And I loved your choice of material and your own songs. You have a
wonderful, funny, loving approach to children's music.
Congratulations on a first-class album!!!! I'm a big fan!

Robby has requested that I
put on the song Fishin' with Ish in an infinite loop in the player,
and is at this moment doing a nice solo interpretive dance. Last
week his preferred song was Jump by Van Halen, so this is a BIG step
up.

The CD sounds awesome! What fun songs! Alban is in
_love_ with it you're ranking up there in his book with The Police
and U2!!!

More about Ken Sings Les
A collection of Les Barker poems Ken has put to music.
This CD was made as a demo for Les so he could play the songs for others who
might want to sing them.
"History Man" (an anti war song) has been recorded by Hillary Spencer.
"Heroes" is a song about the real heroes of 9/11 that people have requested a
recording of.
I was initially drawn to reciting Les' funny poems and found I was inspired to
sing his serious poems and then his funny ones as well. These are funny and
serious poems that called to me and said "I want to be a song".
What does Les think about my putting his poems to music? "I am very
pleased".
