Album DescriptionBright Spaces 2 is a very special compilation of tracks personally selected by Dan Zanes of his favorite family music to benefit Bright Spaces: play spaces for children in crisis created by Bright Horizons Foundation for Children. Bright Space playrooms provide a place to play for more than 5,000 children in crisis each month."Let's call this a musical scrapbook. In it you'll find a sea shanty, a West Indian waltz, a few Woody tunes, a Jewish wedding poem set to music, an old time nonsense number, a lyrical rock and roll song, an updated spiritual, a couple of forties pop standards, and many more melodic moments. All of these artists and songs have been meaningful to me in one way or another during the decade since my daughter was born. As I entered the glorious and ever-changing realm of family music there was so much inspiration in the air. All I had to do was reach out and grab it! And here is some of it, just for you." --Dan Zanes
