Review: Dog Bone Town
Music by: Dennis Caraher
By Victoria Pietz
This CD is fabulous, right from the
artwork on the cover to the music within. The lyrics will
spark any child’s imagination.
Inside the front cover of the CD,
you’ll find a short list of things to be grateful for.
When reading this, you get a feel for the crazy heart
touching style that flows throughout the fun whimsical
songs.
You’ll find yourself singing right
along with the music whether you are 6 or 60. To help you
learn the songs and teach the words to your children,
Dennis has so cleverly included the words for all of the
songs. You’ll get the idea of the fun you’ll have when
reading the song titles.
The Elephant Played Electric Guitar. Here is a sample of
the lyrics. “Now I was in my hiding place where I could
not be seen. Then I got this feeling in my face like I
was gonna sneeze. I tried to make the feeling leave…”
You can imagine the ending.
Little Bit Late. This is a song about being late in the
morning and rushing around. Everyone is late sometimes,
we all have to hurry and not hesitate.
Life Is So Confusing. This is a wonderful silly song that
a child’s imagination can take off with. Here is a sample
of the lyrics “When I woke up I was soakin’ wet, I dried
myself off with my dog Fred.”
Bit By Bit. Any child that is having trouble learning in
school will relate to this song. It shows how children
can be triumphant and conquer anything they want to do.
The Little Boy. This is a longer song about a boy that
missed his teddy bear. It is very touching.
Bog Bone Town. Here is the title song. Dog Bone Town is
where all the dogs go to play.
The Little River. Anyone with an appreciation for nature
will truly love this song. This song brings to light the
importance of small streams and rivers.
Let It Go. This is great to help a child work through
feelings. “You gotta let it go, let it go. Gotta take
that mad, give it a throw say…” You get the idea.
Time To Go To Bed. Including this song was a brilliant
idea. While, Little Bit Late is a wake up song, this is a
song that makes you feel like going to bed. The cd is set
up as a child would spend an entire day discovering and
going to bed after the long, exciting day.
So Long, See Ya Later. All friends must say goodbye to
one another. With Dennis he said so long in a wonderful
song.
My recommendation is a strong buy for
this cd. It is quality sound with a fun atmosphere.
Music teachers, elementary teachers, parents, and children
will fall in love with the look, feel, and sound of Dog
Bone Town.
