Ditto Kiddo. Performed by Stephen Michael Schwartz. CD.
Approx. 29 min. S-Team Productions. 2019
Multi-award
winning Stephen Michael Schwartz performs nine energetic and toe-tapping
original songs on his fourth solo album, in pop, bluegrass, rock, polka, and Hawaiian
folk. As a former member of the trio “Parachute Express,” he has toured China
on behalf of the Gymboree International Play & Music Program; and as a result,
was also invited to give solo performances in that country. The backup instrumentalists
give outstanding performances on guitar, slack key guitar, bass, ukulele, violin,
banjo, keyboards, tuba, harmonica, drums and percussion. Just one taste of “Alphabet
Soup” puts a smile on my face. A “Bubble Gum Friend” will stick with you to the
end. Being with “Grandma and Grandpa” is like a vacation. Shine for those who’ve
lost their glow because “That’s What Love Can Do.” You’re happy everywhere you
go; “Ditto Kiddo,” that’s the way I’m feeling, too. She’s from the land where
they say, “No, No, No, No, No.” A little
angel with “Little Fingers, Tiny Toes” brings magic to the simplest things. A
child learns to play “Hopscotch” at school. “Hello Gymbo” (the mascot of the
Gymboree Play & Music Program), it’s a beautiful day. Young listeners will
love dancing and singing along with these catchy tunes.
