Johnette has 2 New CDs!

TWO NEW CDs!

Great news! The long awaited BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGS CD is now available to download from the Johnette Downing web site Store at http://www.johnettedowning.com/digital.html The physical CD will not be released until Fall 2010, but you can download the entire 20 song CD for only $10 today!

BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGS

Spiders and slugs and roaches, oh my! The backyard is buzzing alive with a boogie-woogie jive. Play in the bug band and sing some creepy, crawly and catchy songs about insects. You'll get these great fan favorite songs: Cockroach, Mariposa, Bug Band, and Backyard is Buzzing Along as well as some traditional songs like Skip to My Lou, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Five Little Butterflies. There is a new sure-fire hit titled Bed Bugs so if you love the “Wiggle Worm” song, you’ll love this one too. Also included on this recording is the song that goes along with my upcoming book THERE WAS AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED SOME BUGS.


NEW MOON, MUSIC FOR LITTLE FOLKS

Next, as if that is not cool enough, we are also releasing the 20th Anniversary Edition of Johnette's first recording for children with Dickie Knicks as the children's music duet "New Moon." Only 100 copies were printed of this original recording in 1990. The original recording has been digitized and is being released now to the general pubic for the first time. This recording planted the seeds of all the CDs that followed and you won’t believe how young I sound!

Download the two new CDs today at http://www.johnettedowning.com/digital.html
