| Trying to describe Bill is often as funny as attending one of his concerts. One person will call him a singer/songwriter, another a storyteller. People know Bill from his books, his theatrical plays, his concerts, his workshops - or maybe even as a keynote speaker at a conference. With twenty-five recordings of songs and stories and five children's books to his credit, Bill's humorous yet meaningful work chronicles the lives of children at school and at home. |
 Bill Harley: Battle Of The Mad Scientists CD $14.98 RRR 114CD Possibly the funniest and certainly the most outrageous collection of stories yet from the man who has been called "the Mark Twain of children's entertainment," The Battle Of The Mad Scientists features Bill Harley at his most improbable yet totally believable best. These wonderful new stories include Mrs. Ammons & The Boys Room (Free at Last), The Eeny Weeny Beeny Ghost, a spectacular talking blues entitled The Great Sled Race, and Bill's memories of his first experience in theater, The Battle of the Mad Scientists. Educational? Arguably. Hilarious? Without a doubt."Much of a child's life is spent out of sight of their parents and other supervising adults. Grownups aren't privy to the secret, dangerous, and anarchic world that kids inhabit. The rules aren't as clear in that private world, and usually things are a little funnier. These stories about growing up are my most unforgiving and closest to the edge in talking about the way kids live? They are about survival first, about fun, about making things up as you go along. Which is what adults do, too." (Bill Harley) |
