Barn Banter - Ep 22 - England Swings! Part 1 with Dr. Liam Maloy

I was curious to chat with a children's musician in the UK to see if there were any great differences in approach, venues or whatnot, so I tracked down Dr. Liam Maloy of Johnny and The Raindrops! Wow what a chat! Although we do cover the basic scene in each country, to my great delight the conversation was more about his new academic tomb called "Spinning the Child" which offers a historical perspective on recorded music for children. Great stuff in this episode about Woody Guthrie,  George Martin, the BBC, Sesame Street, the Muppet Show, Jim Henson, oh and I may have insulted the guest by my reaction to teaching 4 year-olds Shakespeare. Hmm.... the interview ends with a great song by Johnny and The Raindrops and no international incidents.
