A Tall Talent

"When Gunnar's music is on we're all happy and we're all young! I can't say enough good things about this CD, we play it all the time. My four year old just sits holding the CD case and marveling at all of Gunnar's voices----She giggles and hums and squeals with each new song and then of course throws herself into the middle of the room to boogie with her sister. Truth be told; I do the same thing! The music is rich and beautiful and 100% delightful. You'll be playing this one over and over again whether the kids are in the room or not. Thanks for keeping us in the moment Gunnar and celebrating the wonders of 'Growing'."

"Wacky, goofy (but, oh, so clever) music. For those who remember what it's like to be a kid and want to expose their children to music that is completely accessible but expertly arranged and produced for all ages."
Good enough for grownups

"Gunnar Madsen, like Ralph Covert and Peter Himmelman, makes music for adults as well as children, and it shows in the music that is ostensibly for kids -- my kids love it, but I listen to it when they're not around, because the music is beautiful and the lyrics are clever and moving, all at once."
Yay Gunnar!

"As soon as I put this new CD on, my 2 and 4 year olds started dancing. They just couldn't hold back! Thanks for another fun one, Gunnar. For those of you who haven't heard others of his, I highly recommend "Old Mr. Mackle Hackle" and "Ants in Your Pants". I can't help humming the tunes, and the lyrics are great fun."
