Though my work is mostly housework, my family and I sometimes sing together while doing it. One of our new favorite groups making singable music is
The Longest Johns in the UK. They have great songs, old and new, and a wonderful sense of humor that particularly comes out in their music videos. Love this stuff--oh, how to choose just a few pieces to link to?
My favorites:
Hog Eye Man Wayfaring Stranger (okay and Santiana)
My daughter's favorites:
Hammer and the Anvil and
Wellerman
My husband's favorite sounds good and creepy (and like something from a Tim Burton film):
Downed and Drowned
And this is just good fun in general--
If you like folk music--you will no doubt enjoy this group very very much!
“If we are honest, we can still love what we are, we can find all the good there is to find, and we may find ways to enhance that good, and to find a new kind of living world which is appropriate for our time.” ― Christopher Alexander
