Yo-Yo Ma and Silk Road Ensemble, Empire State of Mind

What a great way to introduce young children to the arts. One of the finest performers of our time has reached out in ways that most would never think to do. Watch the kids eyes light up when they realize that the eclectic piece of music they are observing includes familiar music that they know from Alicia Keyes (and others).

My Album for FREE (Limited Time)

For a very limited time I’m going to make the download of my kids album “Sing a Song for Safety” (high quality 320k mp3) available for FREE!

Sing a Song for Safety album art

All you have to do is visit my Bandcamp page at richpalmer.bandcamp.com. I do ask that you submit your email address to validate the download. I will not sell, tear, spindle, mutilate, slice, dice, mix, mash or make hundreds of julienne fries out of your email address for any other reason than to add you to my notification list. And don’t expect a bunch of spam from me unless I’m singing Monty Python songs. (Spam, spam, spam, spam wonderful spam, wonderful spam.) I don’t like spam email and am pretty sure you don’t like it, either.

And… if you choose to donate anything toward the album, that is great, too. Anything donated will go toward my new album project of pop/rock style songs.

So to recap:
Sing a Song for Safety
FREE
Donations accepted
Please add your email address for validation.

Thanks for your support and have a nice day.

I Need iTunes Reviews

Hey friends, I could use some reviews for my children’s album on iTunes.

If you have a few moments, would you put a few words in for me? You can find the song player on the right side of my site if you haven’t heard the tunes.

Can you stop kids from playing with fire?

Good coverage by the Today show on this sensitive, but all-too-common concern. Meri-K Appy of the Home Safety Council is the credible source in this story. She has devoted her career to teaching home safety. I first met her in Oklahoma in the early 1990s when we attended the fire and life safety educator conference held there each year.
