Children's Music CD
WELCOME TO GARDEN STREET

  Welcome To Garden Street - Children's Music CDIn the world of children’s music, a world tightly controlled by Disney, Barney and Sesame Street, it takes a voice of unique innovation to break the mold, get attention and make a beautiful noise.

With WELCOME TO GARDEN STREET, Jim Salestrom and Nancy Mills have done just that. They have created an intelligent family CD, music that can be played at home, on long trips, or wherever you go without driving adults crazy or children to boredom. That’s a fine line to walk, but listen once and you’ll realize that they have accomplished it here.

Incidentally, Jim Salestrom is one of the best known studio musicians in the country, having recorded with and played background for John Denver, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Pure Prairie League, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. He’s traveled and performed all over the world and played for four United States Presidents.

And yet, the latest challenge is the greatest challenge; breaking into a tight market with set ideas, thanks to an innovative and creative approach to music, imagery and fun.

And isn’t that what children's music should really be about?

Lyrics from 2 songs on the CD

 
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DOES A WATCHBAND PLAY? NEVER EAT CABBAGE ON THURSDAY
The secrets I think to the universe
Can be found buried deep in our hearts
The answers may blow in the wind some may say
I’m convinced that they’re not very smart

It’s the questions and the way that you ask them
That will help you get by day by day
You may not always find out an answer
But they’re great fun to ask anyway!

What kind of music does a watch band play
I believe it’s ragtime, all the live long day
What kind of music does a watch band play
I believe it’s ragtime, all the live long day.

Why, if you can clean a guitar pick
Can’t you pick that same guitar clean?
And do you think there are 88 locks to go with
The 88 keys, black and… green?

Could Washington have just one Walla
Can you tune the scales on a fish?
Should you wave at the amber fields growing grain?
Can a spoon really run with a dish?

What kind of music does a watch band play
I believe it’s ragtime, all the live long day
What kind of music does a watch band play
I believe it’s ragtime, all the live long day.

And why does a watch face have hands on it?
Can the willow wind whistle a tune?
Is a quarterback change from McDonalds?
Should you try and cheer up a blue moon?

Does a bush pilot really fly bushes?
Look it’s an oleander up in the sky!
Is the sticker price the price of the sticker?
And why do we always ask why?

What kind of music does a watch band play
I believe it’s ragtime, all the live long day
What kind of music does a watch band play
I believe it’s ragtime, all the live long day.

There are may more questions, I’m certain
You can maybe think of some too!
The questions are best; the answers are strange,
How can you live in a shoe?

And why does a watch face have hands on it?
Can the willow wind whistle a tune?
Is a quarterback change form McDonalds?
Should you try and cheer up a blue moon?

And why does a watch face have hands on it?
Can the willow wind whistle a tune?
Is a quarterback change from McDonalds?
Should you try and cheer up a blue moon
There are some things you always should do
And some things on the list of never
After you’ve glued the cat to the wall
Try and be charming witty and clever baby

Be sure you wear a sweater
When your mom says that she’s cold
When the market’s up, hedge your bets
Invest in a little gold!

But ever, never, never, never, never, never, never
Eat cabbage on Thursdays, no, no, no,
But ever, never, never, never, never, never, never
Eat cabbage on Thursdays

Now listen as I sing this verse,
The message is one to keep
You’ll probably end up singing real loud
This chorus in your sleep!

Don’t deposit your money in a snow bank
But save for a rainy day
A penny saved is a penny earned
Remember just a few clichés

Go to school on the days you have to
Sleep late on the days you don’t
Do your homework with zeal
And don’t miss a meal, take a bath
Well you will or you won’t!

But ever, never, never, never, never, never, never
Eat cabbage on Thursdays, no, no, no,
But ever, never, never, never, never, never, never
Eat cabbage on Thursdays

Fried chicken you can eat with your fingers
A spoon not a fork for soup
Wednesday’s the day for tuna sands
A roller coaster loops the loop

Sandals with your snow suit
May not be the very best look
So find your own style, eat peas by the mile
Tip your hat to the gourmet cook

But never eat cabbage on Thursday
You may be short but your shadow is tall
Sit up straight at the table
Don’t call your dad Mable
And never eat cabbage at all!

But ever, never, never, never, never, never, never
Eat cabbage on Thursdays, no, no, no,
But ever, never, never, never, never, never, never
Eat cabbage on Thursdays

But never eat cabbage on Thursday
You may be short but your shadow is tall
Sit up straight at the table
Don’t call your dad Mable
And never eat cabbage at all!
