MYSTIC SERENADE

Copyright 2009, SWR Publishing

This instrumental album is the culmination of a twenty year journey exploring the beauty and serenity of the Native American flute. Ambient and deeply meditative, the music shared on this CD represents Hawk's next step in his musical apprenticeship with the flute. Blending peaceful, healing melodies with evocative rhythms, it may best be described as contemporary Native American, with a Whole World feel. Deeply evocative!

GOOD MORNING MR. BOB

“Thank you for sending me the copy of “Good Morning Mr. Bob”. I was delighted to hear your presentation of "Boneless" - it even brought a few chills to me. But, I must say, I enjoyed the entire CD. I hope the opportunity will arise to hear you present in person. Meanwhile, keep enchanting kids with the power of first-rate storytelling - yours!" Robert D.

LIVE AT THE COMMON GROUND

“Extremely funny and smoothly paced, this CD at once captures your attention and gently pulls you back to a nearly forgotten era. Skillfully mixing heartwarming stories, upbeat songs, and humorous antidotes, Bob Linsenmayer, aka the Singing Storyteller, has produced a real gem. Too many spoken word recordings simply don’t deliver. This one does. The sound quality and professionalism on this live recording is superb and the audience’s laughter only serves to enhance the overall effect of sitting around the old country store or modern day coffee shop, hearing stories that your good friend, Bob is sharing. We can all relate to the hilarious situations that occur in Bob’s travel stories, ‘Hijacked’ and ‘Where is the Toilet’. Intermixed with these personal stories are traditional songs and irreverent, but not over the top, numbers like ‘Ode to Cheese’s’ and ‘Body in the Bag’. This CD is perfect for children, adults, families, and pretty much anyone who likes to smile, laugh, and simply feel good!”

Hannah and Dexter: The First Meeting

Hannah’s and Dexter’s first meeting was not a positive one and the likelihood of them becoming friends was unthinkable. A history project brings these two unlikely children together, after being forced to work together by a singing, strict, red-haired teacher. However, with cooperation, respect, and teamwork, their first meeting and other differences are soon forgotten. This story tells one of teamwork and dependence; encouragement and excitement; academics and social life; acceptance and appreciation. Additionally, the reader will see the importance of acceptance and respect of others that are different in culture, race and personality.
