"EVERYBODY PLAYS AIR GUITAR is my four year old's favorite Joe McDermott CD. And mine, too! Joe McDermott is a Texas home-grown children's entertainer, known for his humorous, fun, and intelligent lyrics. His original, toe tapping tunes make kids and adults alike what to get up and dance. My daughter and I also love to sing along at the top of our lungs while driving in the car.



EVERYBODY PLAYS AIR GUITAR contains 10 original songs, written in typical catchy, snappy Joe McDermott fashion. My wee one's particular favorite is Sport Comes to the Rescue, about a loyal pup who helps his young human and saves him from a number of "imagined horrors," including a bad dream. My personal favorite is the title track, EVERYBODY PLAYS AIR GUITAR, which provides kids (and their parents!) very specific instructions on exactly how to play the air guitar. The lyrics are down-right funny, and my little girl laughs hard every time we air guitar together. Other fun favorites include Our Family Car is a Helicopter, and Ride, Ride, Ride, which is an interactive song that ends up with an aborted attempt to ride a porcupine. Ride, Ride, Ride always produces a long outbreak of the giggles.



All of Joe McDermott's CDs and songs are engaging and entertaining, especially to the youngest crowd. The fact that mom and dad can enjoy these songs, too, is icing on the cake. We have been lucky enough to see Joe in concert several times, and my child loves listening to the CDs and remembering the fun we had at the concerts.



EVERYBODY PLAYS AIR GUITAR is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for children of all ages.
