I attended the virtual Children’s Music Network (CMN) listening party on October 19, 2021. It  gives voting members for the Grammys a chance to hear some samples from the artists that  have submitted for the Children’s Music Category. Unfortunately, an emergency took me away half way through the session. However, I did get to hear some fine music from the likes of  Sonia De Los Santos and her album ESPERANZA, Pierce Freelon and his album BLACK TO  THE FUTURE, FAMILY TREE by Fyütch and some cool cuts by Esther Crow, that’s right Crow and her husband’s name is Dan Crow. What a collective noun group we could be!

Anyhow, it was inspiring music and continues to demonstrate what a vital creative bunch is out  there creating music for kids and families.
