It's hard to belive it's starting all again, That same old number, in the same old game, To Uncle Twix, you know nothing about kids. It's the same old lines that we've heard before, The same simple songs, we won't sing them no more, To Uncle Twix, you know nothing about kids. Teach us all about life and how to get along, What's the difference between right and wrong, You’ve got our attention, we're here anyway, How come what we want to hear is not what you say. You can't believe that you are missing, The fact we just don 't listen, To Uncle Twix you know nothing about kids. Please take notice, don't think that you control us, You’ve never ever shown us that you even know us, To Uncle Btwix, you know nothing about kids.

This Lyrical Exposition is an example of what Children's Hour Production is all about-- kids and music. Partners, George Szabo and lim Aguanno became involved in this unique Canadian in, dustry in 1981. Their aim was to offer an alternative to traditional children 's music and song. ”...were not educationally strong for children..." Namely, whether children were capable of learning the alphabet and learning about Canadian culture and history. initially, they had one major bridge to cross. The opposition of the educators. Specifically, the librarians, who traditionally controlled children's entertain- ment. As George Szabo points out, they were primarily con- cernedthat the lyrics and music The concern of the educators was understood by both men. They explained they were not trying to replace the traditional folk music, but merely trying to make it more contemporary. Granted, traditional song and music provides an excellent base for a younger child to develop language and cultural skills. However, it becomes dull to the older child who has had more exposure to everyday life. Szabo and Aguanno have formed an ll-piece band, con- sisting of 4 horns, keyboards, bass, drums, guitars and 3 HOW has this dilemma been rectified? it' 1818 WESTON RD. . 244-2059 FK, singers. The band is appor- priately named, 'But I'm lust a Kid,' which performs orginal music from a child), perspeC- tive. Meaning, the music has a rock and pop base, which deals with the specific concerns of children-from haircuts to moonbeams. In their first year, But I'm just A Kid, made waves. Their first LP "But I'm just A Kid" was nominated for Best Album Graphics at the 1982 juno Awards and their Christmas LP "Cats Getting Ready for Christmas" was also nominated at the funo's for best Children's album of 1982. Both LP's were manufactured and distributed by CBS Records Canada under the registered trademark Kid- din' Round Records. Tapes and LP's are available at Sam the Record Man's. The band was thrilled by its success, in penetrating the children's music market. However, what is of first impor- tance to anyone who ventures into any new arena, is to remember the ideals that one sets out to fulfill. George Szabo states “...what is important is not only the value of the pro- duct but also the performance. They have succeeded in both areas," in 1985 But I'm lust a Kid will have performed for over 50,000 children across Ontario. Simultaneously, this brought about the advent of their third LP, entitled "But I'm just A Kid...Parenta/ Guidance no re- quired. ff co-produced with CBC Radio Variety. (By the way, the song Uncle Twix is found on this LP) This joint effort with a large corporation, provides a positive endorsement for further ad- vances into the field of children's music.
