Countdown 13 Days!


Today's Preview of the Sing With Our Kids website: The Bingo factor!

I was singing Bingo at a concert today, and was amazed as I always am, that it seems to almost have magical power!  It's one of a small handful of songs that everyone always sings, that has somehow survived the test of time, and that seems to be irrististable. It's almost as if it's in our dna! What is it about this song that has given it true lasting power, and how many other songs are there like this; songs that can draw in children of all ages, and adults just walking by? Let's explore the Bingo factor together over the next nine months, and see how many other songs we can come up with. A singable song needs to be easy, repetitive, and have a good rhythm, and of course, be familiar. These are the "camp" songs of our culture. If you were making a list, what songs would you put on it? Let me know!
