"Skiddley doo-hi skiddley-i-ay" verse in the song "Mountain Dew" (that we are singing this Fall) comes from the Gaelic folk genre of "mouth music." Here is a ravishing performance of another song from the "mouth music" tradition, by incomparable Rhiannon Giddens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1PlbL5fpco As Rhiannon comments in her interviews, it's such a pleasure to play with those fun sounds and make them your own!

This thoughtful discussion may inspire you to make even more music with your children at home :) Our outdoor and online classes have just started and you can still join us: come sing and dance with us every day this Fall!
