Homeschool Mami's World

We love the public radio station out of Emerson College in Boston: 88.9, WERS. On weekends our favorite listening is the Playground which has fun children's music from 5 PM - 8 PM Saturdays and Sundays. It includes "old stuff" that I remember from my childhood like Schoolhouse Rock and the Brady Kids singing "It's A Sunshine Day" as well as Silly Songs from Veggie Tales, Disney tunes, tv theme songs and really funny artists like Trout Fishing in America and their contemporary nursery rhyme polka classic, "The Window." (If you've never heard this song, it's worth listening to the Playground just to request it.)

Also a big favorite around here is the Broadway show, Standing Room Only Saturdays 10 AM to 2 PM and Sundays 12 Noon to 2 PM. It's one of my educational biases that my kids should know the great American songbook as part of their cultural literacy.

Happy listening, and don't forget to sing along.
