"One of the best artist-in residence programs we have ever had. It tied in with our writing program and all classes were included. The students loved making up their own song and having it recorded. The CD of the student's songs is an educational and permanent reminder of the event. This was a wonderful week and Les has quite a way with kids--very accepting and encouraging of their creative process."

MIGHTY JACKIE, THE STRIKEOUT QUEEN is FINALIST in the INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS!
| |
CHECK IT OUT! The song MIGHTY JACKIE THE STRIKEOUT QUEEN which I co-wrote with my buddy Marla Lewis (www.marlalewis.com) is one of the five FINALISTS in the INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS!
WE NEED YOUR VOTE! Go to http://www.musiciansatlas.com/pages/IMAFinalist/ Go to the Children's Music category and you can listen to Mighty Jackie, the Strikeout Queen (as well as the other entries which are also very good). Jackie Mitchell was a seventeen year old pitcher with the minor league team Chattanooga Lookouts when, in a 1931 exhibition game against the New York Yankees, SHE!!! struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehring! Jackie was a that good. Marla sang and arranged the tune with Andrews Sisters-like vocals and wonderful horns. The song is available as an mp3 download on this site and on Marla's wonderful new CD-I Love to Talk To Plants (www.marlalewis.com). I highly recommend it-not just because I co-wrote two of the songs-but because it is Terrific! I know you'll agree. CHECK IT OUT!
