Fantastic take on old blues songs, geared toward kids, but fun for all. Some conversation w/ kids during the songs, some spoken pieces trying to come up with a nickname for Kaplan and intros for songs. Great musicianship throughout. A real gem!! No FCC’s.

2. (2:21) Mid. Upbeat jazzy version of Robert Johnson classic.
