We have a Jew's Harp lying around somewhere. You could likely pick one up at any instrument store that isn't so snobby they don't carry cheap harmonicas, tin whistles and the like. It's not the most comfortable instrument to play as you hold it between your teeth.
Our Cashew house (Catholic/Jewish) needs a Jews Harp. And a slide whistle too. I sooo loved the ladybug picnic. sigh. 1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9, 10-11-12.... got this song... stuck in my head now.
I happen to be a very big fan of "Ladybug Picnic" and all of it's hokey little instruments. It's just one of those happy little songs that you can't get out of your head.
My brother is a musician, and he recorded a cover of this song for my kids. He said the hardest part were locating a kazoo and jew harp. Now hopefully a new generation will grow to love the ladybugs!
AND at the end you'll hear the slide whistle (my favorite) and a bike horn. ALL the crappy instruments were used!
ReplyDelete1-2-3, 4-5-6, 7-8-9, 10-11-12....That jews harp ROCKS!!!!!! Where can I get me one of those??
