Edito de Rockin' in the OceanGigi® and the Lend Me a Hand Band®?s long awaited CDs are now available! The highly acclaimed popular intergenerational Family band?s second CD, ?Rockin? in the Ocean? is a rollicking collection of Rock, Swing and Doo-Wop songs about Sea Mammals and other ocean inhabitants written for Elementary School children and their parents and teachers at the request and under the guidance of the New York Aquarium. Gigi was asked by the Aquarium to write and produce a show celebrating Sea Mammals in a fun and stylized form reminiscent of blasts from the past to tie into the Aquarium?s 50?s beginnings, and ?Rockin? in the Ocean? is the result! . Included are a little 40?s Swing, 50?s Rock-in-Roll and Doo Wop and in the title song ?Rockin? in the Ocean? you can hear a little touch of the 60?s with a retro feel. A true treat for parents too with the fine musicianship of the Lend Me a Hand Band® and multi-award winning singer Gigi?s wonderful vocals. This CD is the result of one of their most requested programs with broad age appeal, and is perfect for the home, car and the classroom. Gigi® and the Lend Me a Hand Band® is a musical troupe dedicated to bringing joy to young audiences through musical merriment, theatre and literature. Whether it?s purely for entertainment or used as a means to educate children, music is a powerful force that gets kids of all ages involved and creates a memorable experience for them. Making it interactive, through songs and games set to music, has been integral to the success of the band and one of the keys to unleashing the imagination of their rapt listeners. For everyone involved, it is truly a labor of love. The band is comprised of Gigi (Former Classical singer and music teacher), on Acoustic/Electric Guitar and Vocals, her Mom, Granny Franny on keyboards and her husband Larry a.k.a Mr. Bassman and best friends Meteor Mike Cefola on electric guitar, and Guy ?Jam Master G? Eluzzi on percussion along with Uncle Paul Rutkowski on the cool tones of the saxophone. In their live shows their kids and relatives lend a hand in leading the audiences to join in actions to their songs. All of these fine musicians come from varied backgrounds from bands performing Country, Rock, Blues and Jazz. Their musical journey together has taken them from the banks of the Hudson River for Riverfests, to the Tower of Power Stage of the Time Warner Goodwill Games, to the stages of numerous theatres such as the Helen Hayes and Westchester Broadway, but most importantly into the hearts of many children and their families. ?Do the Dolphin Doo Wop? starts swinging the musical journey in motion, and the flowing ?Bow Diddy Beluga? and classic doo wop and humor of ?Walrus Way? lead you into the 50?s Mood, capped off by one of the ever crowd favorites ?Penguin Rock? with everyone up waddlin? and hoppin & a? boppin! Check out their other new CD ?Movement & Merriment? '" for early childhood listeners and their parents filled with songs for action and imagination in styles ranging from Folk, Calypso, Ragtime, Blues and Rock.
