Charity and the JAMband: Peanut Butter and JAM The award-winning Charity and the JAMband: Peanut Butter and JAM is the movin’ groovin’ follow-up to the first JAM CD, Music for Movement with Children. Spanning every genre from bluegrass to funk to rock ‘n’ roll to surf to meditative, PB&JAM hits a nerve with kids and parents alike. Your family needs this music…push the furniture to the walls, clear the floors, turn up the volume, and boogie down together! You will feel the love, guaranteed. Appropriate ages: 0 - infinity.

Charity Kahn sings and plays the blues away with her versatile voice, expansive harmonies, clever piano licks, and fabulous flute frills. The funky, folky JAMband joins in with Charlie Crocker (Daddy Charlie) on bass, Amos Glick (Uncle Mo) on guitar, and Hud Bixler (Daddy Hud) on drums to make this CD truly rock. The music and lyrics are edgy, clever, real, fantastical and fun…no evidence of talking down to kids here. And the bonus: every song has accompanying moves and grooves…get up outta your seat!

This wonderfully varied and clever CD won a 2004 Parents’ Choice Approved Award, and received a commendation from Common Sense Media, which noted, “You’ll want to move along with Charity or just listen to her appealing voice, whether you’re young or old. Encourage your kids to dance, and make sure you join in the fun!” For more of the same, check out Charity and the JAMband’s most recent release, Rock Your Socks Off.
Customer Review: PB and JAM makes a great children’s gift
I’ve given a dozen (or more) “Peanut Butter and JAM” cd’s as gifts and am still counting. It’s full of silly, happy, and soulful songs that’ll keep little toes a-tappin’…..yours too. And when I babysit, playing this cd is the one thing that puts the kids in a good mood and keeps the TV off without any complaints. Songwriter-Singer-Musician Charity Kahn and a group of amazing musicians have compiled a true delight for ears of all ages.

Antiques Roadshow Home Furnishings Drop in to “Antiques Roadshow,” where appraisers from the nation’s top auction houses are eyeing a hodgepodge of furnishings hauled in across the country — from artwork to rugs to tea tables, from a fancy Philadelphia desk to a funky old shaving stand scrounged from a barn and more. * One Massachusetts man who bought and restored a classic 1740 Boston highboy was pleased to find out it’s worth $50,000. But he was less happy to learn it could have commanded $120,000–if he’d left its “ugly” finish intact. * A woman in Connecticut was given a moth-eaten fiddle case by her neighbor. While the dusty 19th-century French violin inside holds very little value, the shredded 1830 bow alone is worth $8,000. Join antiques expert Chris Jussel and his team of specialists as they examine these objects and many more–in clips from the popular PBS series taped around the country–plus footage never seen on TV.
Customer Review: 1997 rerun not what advertised!!!! Shame on you PBS!!!
This is a 1997 program, one hour only, with review stating it is a “new 2006 release”. There is nothing new. It is not furniture…lots of misc. stuff, artwork, musical instuments, rug etc. Save your money. This is not what is advertised. I am going to see if I can return it. If I could rate it a big fat ZERO…I would!
