Get a group of parents together and ask them about today's music and you'll get a variety of opinions. One thing that just about every generation agrees on is that music was better when they were young. Recalling the songs of a generation ago, there did seem to be more of an emphasis on lyrics and storytelling than today. The people at Laughing Owl have compiled a collection of songs from a variety of eras that are as notable for the stories and lessons that they try to impart as for their melodies. What stands out is the selection of songs and their lyrics (which are included), along with talking points to allow for discussion about a wide variety of important topics that parents need to address with their kids.
