| "American music history was never this fun." - The Los Angeles Times
"We truly enjoyed your outstanding American music performance. The teachers couldn't be more impressed. It is rare to see an educational program that is original and refreshing. The kids were humming all the way back to the classrooms." - Eddie Cloke, Vice Principal, Old River School

short video clip | From Stephen Foster to George M. Cohan, from Fats Waller to John Philip Sousa, musician-performers, Mark Beckwith and Obediah Thomas incorporate their own zany brand of humor as they sing and play their way back through time and across America. Zydeco, Hawaiian, Western, Jazz, Blues, Folk and Rock 'n Roll are performed with guitar, trumpet, and vocals. Audiences enjoy doing Cajun hambonin', singing contests, and watching surprise guests from the audience dance the Charleston.
