Turn Turn Turn

Two of the foremost makers of handmade, independent, age-desegregated music come together on Turn Turn Turn. Since the early 2000's Grammy winner Dan Zanes and Smithsonian Folkways artist Elizabeth Mitchell have been at the forefront of traditional American acoustic music for children of all ages. The album was recorded with Liz s family/band You Are My Flower and features 15 tracks and 5 new Zanes originals. A highlight, to be sure, is Turn Turn Turn, an updated take on the song written by Pete Seeger a half century ago which includes recently unearthed additional lyrics (not in the Seeger original or the Byrds hit), written specifically for children by Pete s wife, Toshi. You can catch appearances by Dan and Liz on Sprout, the 24-hour preschool network, on The Sunny Side Up Show starting later this summer.
