Gilpin never disappoints in finding the rhythmic charm and humor of the American folk song, especially for young singers. Beginning with an intro of the phrase Uh-hum, he leads us to the familiar melody and text, but combining many verses to create the story in a faster pace. Vocal lines add additional text-painting and there's even a rap or vocal speech section! A big uh-hum when programming this American folk song on your next concert. |
