Use A Napkin (Not Your Mom)
(Sugar Hill 3833)
This 1994 album of music for children and the whole family is evenly divided between Kathy's original songs (the title song, "Bye Bye Kitty Zydeco," "My Family") and classic material ("Crawdad," "Smelly Feet," songs about Amelia Earhart and Jackie Robinson). The music is bluegrass and old-time country, and is performed by the Good Ol' Persons,
"Lively ... humorous ... thoughtful ... historical ... merry music. Recommended." - USA Today
"The most exciting children's recording I1ve heard in years, (with) stellar vocal and guitar work, gifted instrumentalists who understand the music, delightful, intelligent lyrics and mature musical content, and a refreshing, celebratory outlook on life." - Acoustic Guitar
"A delightful package of toe-tapping, Appalachian-style tunes. Highest rating!" - Parents Magazine
