| Introduction | I play guitar & banjo & some other instruments...and sing (kinda) and play young children's music -- life Raffi, Laurie Berkner, Dan Zanes, Pete Seeger (kinda). Dancing and acting silly are a big part of my short shows. In Nebraska, I've played at the State Fair, the Early Childhood Celebration/Festival, the Lincoln Children's Zoo, Lincoln Children's Museum, and Meadowlane School Family Night as well as Human School and under neighborhood trees and the July 4th parades. I've done the Zoo Bar and the Unitarian Church, & First Plymouth. I've sung and played in pre-schools at Waverly and several Lincoln Public Schools as well as the Lincoln Public Libraries summer program. I've banjoed at the Nature Center for Halloween, at Migratory Bird Day, Sunken Gardens, UNL's fall festival, and most recently, our neighborhood sing along! On Maui, HI, I played at luaus, on the beach, and some small parties. I've also played at the Farmers' Market in Bloomington, IN, and in pre-school programs there. jking6@neb.rr.com http://music4youngchildren.shutterfly.com/ http://sites.google.com/site/music4youngchildren/Home |
