Flashback to my childhood.......2007-07-25

My mother had several of their albums that we listened to in the early 70's. I remember the Land of the Giants the most. Now my kids are the age I was and I was trying to remember some of the songs I listened to as a kid and this was the first thing that came to mind. I typed in Land of the Giants on Google and wahlah! there it was! So I bought my little sister a copy too. I also plan to get the Christmas CD - which my mother was very fond of - and 35 years later I still remember the picture from the cover.

Now I know why I have always been so fond of Bluegrass!

Music from my childhood.......2007-06-11

My folks had "Tell Tales! Legends and Nonsense" and I've been having great fun introducing my daughters to this music. I wasn't previously familiar with the "Land of Giants" album, but the girls like it.

New Christie Minstrels.......2007-05-13

I like the Christie Minstrels and their music brings back the '60's and my early college days. Fun stuff! Sure nice not to have to listen to my worn out old albums!Good for cleaning the house or any of those chores you can't summon up the energy to get started on.

New Christy Minstrels CD - Tall Tales.......2007-01-10

This is a great album for playing with your kids. The sound of this group is terrific, and the folksy music is just feel good fun stuff. Also check out their Christmas album.

Land of Giants.......2006-06-15

My grandma taught school in the L.A. Unified school district for many years, including the 60's and 70's. She used Land of Giants as a teaching tool for her 5th graders as they learned about United States History. She had them make costumes, and props, and she played the LP on a portable turntable as they presented a program to their parents at the end of the year. She couldn't sing a note, but she appreciated good music, and I was lucky enough to spend time at her house listening to that album over and over. I still have the poor scratchy LP, with a much-taped cover, but I am delighted to have a chance to purchase this music in CD form. Randy Sparks' composing/arranging talent is phenomenal, and his New Christy Minstrels' singing and playing talents are, too. Land of Giants and Sam Hinton's Singing Across the Land were my introductions to North American Folk Music, and the beginning of a lifelong interest. I wonder if any of Grandma's students out there remember Land of Giants?
