Kath Bee, Again

It sounds to me as if she's had a cold on this day, but during the recent school holiday the Independent Theatre had children's days - Kath Bee singing with her daughter and nieces; Roger Saunders telling stories, and Grea Burton performing.

I love that Kath sings about subjects kids are familiar with, in words they understand, but never underestimate their intelligence or reduce the music experience. Her songs are never "simple" in the way typical kids' songs are.

And see how casual her co-stars are? Well, that's Nelson. And see how the kids know the title song from her first CD? I can't wait for the second one. Coming out November 29 - and it has 13 songs, but that's all I know.

Meg, thanks for the videos of Kath B and the kids. I am glad her singing career is still going good. She's a brave lady to go out and start something in the music field. I always enjoy reading her updates on what is happening with her and the Nancies.

Casual, isn't it? Her nieces have grown up and don't appear as attentive as they did before, but they can sit and sing longer. Her daughter looks still rather shy, but good on her for joining Mum for a wee kiddies gig, too. This is a family affair. On other occasions it's a more professionally produced affair, but I like both.

Casual....that's a very good word for it Meg! hahahaha It was very casual....and not well practised...still, it WAS a sing-along.

Thanks for the post =D and for being a fan and friend at the same time!
