The newest in our series of colorful live-action programs is a playful family of songs that are easy and fun to sing along with. You'll find most of the 14 songs already familiar. Among them are such favorites as The More We Get Together, This Old Man, The Green Grass Grows All Around, Workin' On The Railroad, Home On The Range, This Little Light of Mine and The Riddle Song. With his updated rendering of Old King Cole, James presents a child's introduction to the orchestra; and with Somos El Barco (We Are The Boat), James even makes singing along in Spanish easy and accessible.

And for surprise comic relief, James introduces his special guests, 'Eb & Flo' (who bear a striking resemblance to James himself) singing 2 humorous duets, Buffalo Boy and A Hole In The Bucket.

Singer, songwriter & guitarist Jim Scott not only has a wonderful way with words and melodies, he has a very authentic way of engaging young people and inviting them to sing together. This 33-minute video is the perfect illustration. Most of it was recorded live in an intimate setting — a living room filled to the brim with children and parents, gleefully singing along to some of Jim's most delightful and fun original songs for young people.

Jim Scott travels the country and the world performing for all ages, though he particularly loves to make music for and with kids. Known to many as the singer of Common Ground with the Paul Winter Consort, Jim has gone on to create a wide repertoire of songs celebrating themes of ecology and world harmony.
