YOUR IMAGINARY FRIEND

Children’s Music by Greg Ruby and Jana Vitols – $10

 

 With a nod to Tin Pan Alley, Les Paul, a 2nd line drum groove, and so much more, this CD will get your young ones singing and dancing along.

“Greg and Jana have made a sweet and soulful album for kids.  My two-year old dances like crazy to the up-tempo singing, animal sounds and the fun, creatively arranged instrumentals.”

- Laura Veirs, Musician
