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.

Euro-Pro Shark V1725 Quick-and-Quiet 10-Inch Cordless Sweeper Quieter, lighter, and easier to maneuver than a traditional suction-powered vacuum, this rechargeable cordless sweeper is a joy to use. It efficiently cleans up messes ranging from tracked-in mud to spilled Cheerios on either floors or carpet, all without messy bags and filters, tripping over cords, or dragging a heavy vacuum from one outlet to another. Powerful brush-roll action sweeps rather than sucks dirt onto a dust tray that removes easily for emptying. The low-profile design with swiveling head reaches easily into tight corners and under furniture, and the whole sweeper converts to a hand-held unit for cleaning stairs, upholstery, or your car–a feature that’s especially handy for couches covered with pet hair. The Euro-Pro cleans a 10-inch path and runs up to 30 minutes on a single charge. It weighs just 5 pounds for shipping, measures 10-1/3 by 4-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches, and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. –Mary Park
Customer Review: Don’t throw out the box. It worked for less than a month.
I was so excited to take the Shark Sweeper home. It worked great until I needed to charge it. The motor never started again. I could not return it because I threw away the box. What a waste of $40.
