Peace On Earth With Daughters

This is absolutely one of my very favorite songs.  I learned it from my oldest sister, Sharyn, who taught us all the songs she had learned at girls camp while we drove in our car (Volkswagon Bug, 7 kids plus parents - it was a little tight).  The simple two part harmony, with no accompanient is clean and fresh.

I recorded this using the GoPro so it is a little unbalanced, as it was clipped to my guitar.  It picks up my voice the loudest, so the blend doesn't sound as good as it usually does.  Sorry.  I'll get a better recording someday…..

Peace On Earth, with daughters

3 Year Old Child's Version of Row Your Boat by 3 of my Grandsons

Grandpa and I were with Cooper, Taivan and Lincoln on Grandpa's trailer at the garden, eating lunch.  They grabbed hold and started turning and singing Row, Row, Row, Your Boat.  This is after they had sung it a few times, and I had time to grab my phone and record it, so they weren't quite as enthusiastic, but very fun.  Watch far enough into it for the fun part.

This is only part of this song.  We sing the chorus and 2nd verse, and then I teach the 1st verse.  I hope you can appreciate the "opposite" examples.  Kids absolutely love this verse, and I hope you can understand that this is NOT about violence.  Just relax and have fun with it!  (It was also "Pajama Day" at school, so I wore my pjs too.  FUN!!!
