So my very most favorite session at ULA was about kids and music. Weber County Library System has incorporated a bit of the philosophy from Music Together into their Storytimes with great success. It's easy to see why! Vern, musician, librarian, and storyteller extraordinaire, shared his favorites, including Ghost Chickens in the Sky. Sung to the tune of Ghost Riders in the Sky: just add these scary lyrics: "Their feet were black and shiny, their eyes were burning red. They had no meat or feathers, these chickens all were dead. They carried off the farmer and he died by the claw. They cooked him extra crispy and ate him with cole slaw." Eeek. Sent shivers down my spine.

You are too kind. I'm blushing. Thanks for the mention. I do like to sing songs with kids and all of those in attendance are kids at heart, I think.
Music Together is a wonderful thing. I am happy to have had the training and very happy to share it with others.
"Itsy Bitsy Spider" works to the "Ghost Riders" tune as well. Try it. Much scarier in E Minor! -RDB
I had a kid in the library for a tour one time and she said, "the scariest thing in that Ghost Chickens song is the cole slaw."
