Album Notes

Mr. Tim and Ms Laura, The Battersby Duo, must be a hoot in concert, their offbeat banter endearing them to listeners of all ages. Tim's English accent and Laura's melodious voice often, but not always, echo his silly and her straight roles in this collection of 15 original songs. While ostensibly the sane partner. Laura can be bizarre too, as she assumes the personas of an orange and a pineapple in tandem with Tim's grapefruit and lemon in the Monty Python-esque "Lemonade." Tim's tongue-in-cheek "blues" are as pleasant as Laura's voice is; some songs dangerously flirt with mellow, as in the life-affirming "Butterfly in Flight" and "The Miracle." The Battersby's are all over the stylistic map with a lesson on primary colours, barnyard animals, family togetherness, and the dignity due to those who are different. Too Too Sillies will prompt kids to sing along to these too too silly and perfectly engaging songs.

Too Too Sillies is a stellar collection of fun kid's songs

Just once, in a very blue moon, there appears a collection of kid’s songs that are so interesting, so fun, and just so downright appealing, that they bring immediate smiles to everyone who's listening. This is the case with Too Too Sillies by The Battersby Duo, as it brings laughter and happiness to schools and libraries around the USA. I would recommend this collection to any Parent

Goofy Wacky and Whimsical

"Goofy wacky and whimsical are all adjectives to describe the musical antics of The Battersby Duo. Beneath the façade of silliness the "Too Too Sillies," get children to use their imaginations. to read. to write and to become interested in literature through song and interactive theatrics. Their songs offer honest, non-threatening glimpses into a child's world of understanding and imagination. Their beautiful voices and pleasing music shine. Too Too Sillies is great for family listening fun. and kids will love these 15 "oh so happy songs."
