Ok, here's an OLDIE--
Was it Mitch Miller?
:D Nope. He sure is an oldie! Love some of his music though. I think the man was interactive with the children and probably just basic music like a guitar or something... My younger sister loved the album too and the only words she remembers are something like, "touch your neighbor's nose" when he was talking about body parts... Again, not much to go on...

Bruce Haack? Joe Wise? It wasn't Shel Silverstein, was it? Pete Seeger?
I'm intrigued. :D
Nope, none of those. Some of those sound very country-ish. This guy was more just for kids. Maybe toddler/pre-school age...

Not Joe Scruggs either...sorry. Please keep the ideas coming. I know that my mom must have taped the album off of a record because the quality wasn't perfect.

I just looked at each of the artists and their works that y'all have suggested. Unfortunately, I don't think any of them are the guy I'm looking for. While I was looking at these, I remember the guy talking to the children more and the songs more talking songs, if that makes any sense... Any other ideas? Thanks!

I remember a children's music album that I listened to as a kid (early 80's). I'd like to find it and/or who sang on the album. Ok, I don't have much to go on, but here goes. It was one male singer, possibly with a guitar, singing to kids, but it was also interactive. He sang about colors, shapes and basic kid stuff. I remember him being funny. I know, not much to go on, but maybe someone might have a lead that might help me? TIA

I've since moved away, but I grew up in Fairfield Co. Right outside of Bremen and a Fisher Catholic Grad.

Greetings! This is my first post.
My wife and I have been discerning what to do with our kids for school (the oldest will be entering K in the fall), and while we have a good public school and a very good parochial school within short walking distance, we're leaning towards homeschooling, primarily because we want to follow a classical curriculum.
We actually bought a copy of _The Well-Trained Mind_ 2nd edition a few years ago, but have only read through the prologue and just bits of chapters 3 and 4.
Because the fall is approaching, I decided that it might be good to do a thorough read of the book, but I also know that the 3rd edition is coming out in May (we plan to purchase it), and that brings me to my question: based on what we know about the 3rd edition, should I hold off on reading the 2nd edition and just wait for the 3rd, or is it safe to guess that the updates from 2nd to 3rd are primarily with regard to available resources, and that the rest of the content is nearly the same?
Just curious about the opinions of posters here.
Thanks in advance!

It looks like Brian is more recent. I'm looking for something probably from the 70s, maybe early 80s.
Not quite the song, but sounds just as funny!;)
He could have been a Christian singer. I wouldn't put it past my mom to buy it. But I don't remember any Christian references in the album.
Now I think the guy sounds like or close to Hap Palmer, but everything that I've come across in my search for Hap Palmer doesn't quite sound like I remember. If I remember correctly, it almost felt like the guy was in a room with kids sitting around him. I remember him saying to the kids, if you have red on stand up, if you have green on stand up.... I emailed my mom to see if she could recollect his name and she came up with Mike or Mark Warner or Warnke or Wornke. I've search all possible name combinations and nothing related to children's music comes up. It has been many years so I'm not so sure my mom's memory is the clearest. ;) The search continues...
