I'm doing a spring break workshop for kids next week at the Wichita City Arts Center and I've decided to have them build some of Diane in Chicago's Dulci-Blues Boxes. I've worked out really cool and s-a-f-e kits (emphasis on safe) so we ought to be building quickly...
QUESTION: What are some child appropriate blues songs?
I would like a play list of 3-5 that I can teach and send home with the little rug rats...
thanks for the help.
the best,
Wichita Sam

You know, you could probably do a funny CD entirely of kid's songs done in 12 bar blues. Just about any song would work. Lots of room for riffs in there. I'm thinking Old McDonald and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star could be killer.
Sam, how much of the build work are you doing in advance for the kids?
Hi Sam, please let me know what songs you choose and where I can find the tabs, I am working on setting up
summer workshops for some kids too, but I am more of a builder than a player. We will make exclusively 3 strings
with dulcimer scale.
So far I have hard time to find tabs for three strings guitars. I would love to have some
of the blues played by Red Dog too, so I could show them the videos and then have the kids play the same
songs, and when they come back home they could rely again and again on the Red Dog youtube videos... It
seemed not so hard to play when I watched the videos, but without tabs I feel I'm not able to teach them...
I also found a few Backporch Mojo lovely songs but I still have to found the tabs too...
well, I hope someone can help with my "message in the bottle" :-)
