"(I'm A) Solution Child" by Healthy Habitats

Students, ages 8-16, in Willow Run School District recorded a song about their experiences discovering pollution of a local creek and working toward a solution to clean it up. The grant project was called Healthy Habitats and was headed up by Willow Run teachers Sue Littlefield and Laura Hurst. These students are inspirations to us all. We thank them for letting us work with them.

After The Rain: CRF IMPROVication I

All proceeds from the sale of these recordings support Community Records Foundation's YOUTH SONGWRITING PROGRAMS. For our IMPROVication series, local musicians are invited to improvise and create their own unique musical forms. Then our in-house producer, Dr. Hook, adds his professional perspective to the recordings. These are best when listened to through a good pair of headphones. Much respect and thanks to all of the musicians who donated their time and talent to create music to support CRF. Enjoy!
