WOW! We’re coming up on our 23rd Annual Winter Concert with special guest CHRISTYLEZ BACON. We started doing these events before Chris was born. We’ve been exited by his hip hop music, beat box and musical charm and we think you will be too. We’ve written NEW SONGS with banjos, beatbox, rhymes and of course, plenty of audience participation fun. Come and join us. And, we host our 23rd annual MARVELOUS TOY DRIVE. Bring a new toy for a needy child (voluntary). There are plenty of kids who will need them this year.

Hoopin’s Here! As many of you know, 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 funstyle of exercise. It’s also fun to make and decorate your own hoop. We hoop to that song and lots of other great musical choices.We often have hooping contests at our family shows.

August 8, 2008 is WORLD HOOP DAY. Check it out at http://www.worldhoopday.com. The event spreads the word that hoping is fun and encourages folks to get hoops in the hands (and hips) of needy kids. Events happen worldwide, so you can see if there’s one in your neighborhood.
For our new video podcast, we had a hooping party that was FABULOUS. We made hoops, 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! Marcy’s mom is in that part of the video. 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).
Send us your hooping stories and pictures to info@cathymarcy.com.
Tell your friends about WORLD HOOP DAY and about this podcast. The more people who see it, the more we can aim for peace through hooping!
Join our online community as we post journals from the road, fun notes from kids & families, great stories about music, songs, musicians, people we meet. If we hear a great CD or a wonderful book, we’ll tell you about it. When we come back from the Django Reinhardt Festival in France, we’ll show some pictures and trip highlights. ANYTHING GOES – join us, comment, exchange, tell us about cool music, events, instruments, or just say hi.
When we post new VIDEO PODCASTS, we’ll publish the lyrics and chords to the songs so you can try playing along. Chords & Lyrics to BETTER WHEN WE SING IT TOGETHER, our first video podcast, are:We’re headed off to France for 10 days, including a trip to the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois Sur Seine. It’ll be 4 days of amazing Gypsy Jazz music, jam sessions and awe inspiring concerts. OK, we’ll stay in a castle or 2, see some other major Parisian sites, and above all, nous allons parlez francais, to the best of our abilities.
Tune in soon for the French trip report and more summer fun.
Spread the word and enjoy summer, one day at a time.
