Project Title : River Raisin Ragtime Revue: Children's Ragtime CD
Creator : William Pemberton (River Raisin Ragtime Revue)
Description : With the resurgence in family music, especially over the past five years or so, you can find many different subgenre albums -- punk, polka, country, what-have-you. But there really isn't any ragtime kindie out there. I suppose one could argue that a lot of ragtime -- think Scott Joplin -- is kid-friendly, but this new project from Michigan's River Raisin Ragtime Revue promises a nice little animal-themed distraction and maybe a different entry point into this very American musical style. I'm eager to hear the result. (Hurry up, though, if you want to pledge -- the campaign ends today, Wednesday.)
