REVIEWS

"Thank you for the great music. We're running seven of your songs with Bumbo being my favorite. It is hilarious!"
- Kenny Curtis, XM Satellite Radio

"this very energetic album (Musicmaker) will have children dancing in the aisles."
- School Library Journal, Feb.2003, pg. 79

"I'm impressed. The songs are first-rate."
- Dave Zinovenko, WPKN Radio

"The Brian Waite Band's energetic third album features interactive, imaginative songs in a variety of styles covering an assortment of themes. This trio of talented musicians use mostly guitars and a drum as accompaniment. The title song, sung with a mountain bluegrass 'twang', contemplates the interconnectedness of families paddling together on the river of life. The 70's rock-styled 'We All Make Mistakes' reassures listeners that no one is perfect. 'The Time Out Blues' shares a little empathy with kids who have lost their privelege to play. Although these songs are presented in a light-hearted manner, they are no match for 'The Burp Song' (just use your imagination!) or the memorable a capella song 'Bongo Baby', which are just pure fun. Make room in your shrinking budget for this clever title; you won't be sorry. Perfect for family listening, it will be especially appreciated by adults who are tired of standard children's music fare."

"Very well crafted (Bumbo). Good melody and accessibly easy for kids to sing. You don't talk down to them, and the lyric is engaging. You're having a great time and I'm sure it's infectious. You guys do great work. I can't think of a single thing I'd change to make it better. Excellent!!!"
