MUSIC HELPS: like food for the spirit, mind
& soul. With all of the talented and wonderful friends and family
that joined us in the making of "Singin' at the Swing Set,'' we feel
as if we have taken part in a musical buffet of acoustic splendour.
Yum Yum Yum Yum eat it up, eat it up. We at KiD'n TOGETHER
are full with wonder that life has presented us with a simple and
tasty gift, to have the opportunity to share our music with you. Our
recordings are love projects which garner inspiration from the fact
that Matthew (Alex's 8-year-old son with Down Syndrome) let his Daddy
know that music is a very important joy to maintain (perhaps even
to consider as a fifth food group). Matthew has a love of music, and
he understands the power of song to teach, to celebrate, to share
and to heal.
Hearty love and thanks
from Alex and Ben for all the beautiful energy, exceptional talent,
abundant love, and precious time gifted by our many friends and family.
