Hula Hoop

Hoopin’s Here! Marcy’s Big Band “Hula Hoop” song on the Grammy winning CD, “Bon Appétit!” inspired us to get hooping. We make our own hoops and think it’s a way fun style of exercise. It’s also fun to make and decorate your own hoop. We often have hooping contests at our family shows.

For our new video podcast, we had a hooping party that was FABULOUS. We made hoops and lots of friends hooped. Some never tried before and found out how fun it is. We took a batch of hoops to a seniors’ center and they had a blast!. We also teach YOU how to make a hoop. AND, Cathy hoops on video for over 10 hours (we edited it down to 2 minutes so your computer won’t freeze).

The song, “Hula Hoop” is from the GRAMMY winning CD, “Bon Appétit!” on Rounder Records, available from www.cathymarcy.com and various download sites.

It’s A Shame - Banjo Puppets

Let the silliness begin with a zipper song. Zipper songs make it easy to make up your own verses to a song. Lee Hays of the folk group, The Weavers used that term to refer to a song that has a line or word that will easily zip out and let you zip in a new line or word to create a new verse. “It’s a Shame” is a great zipper song, making it one of those tunes that can take you all the way from Washington to California with fresh verses along the way. It’s fun to make fun of things we don’t like to do, and to create wordplay nonsense, like Marcy’s “It’s A Shame to put a pickle on a Sunday”. Sing-along, strum along, make your own verses. Find the word and chords HERE

Then, meet the Banjo Puppets, 3 crazy characters who help Cathy play banjo with only 1 finger.

Find the song on the CD “When the Rain Comes Down” on Rounder Records, or from your favorite download site.

Cathy & Marcy have an international reputation as a phenomenally talented duo (Time Out New York). They’re also well known for delivering children’s music at its purest (Cookie magazine). www.cathymarcy.com
