notes
Betsy is a native of Berkeley, California. She grew up performing with her dad, a pianist and composer, whose music was published by Disney and used on "Captain Kangaroo." Betsy's dad passed onto her a huge repertoire, from Jazz to Blues to World, and also a love of playing with and for kids. In her debut solo CD, Betsy passes onto kids and their grown-ups music from her childhood - music from around the world. She sings in several languages and plays guitar, requinto, and double bass.
A must-have if you love acoustic music and want to share it with kids!

Creative CD of Children's Classics!
author: RadioIndy.com“Foyo” by Betsy Stern is a delightful journey into the beauty and innocence of childhood. Primarily acoustic folk/jazz, this album will certainly catch the ears of the little ones. Betsy's welcoming tone is impressive and perfectly suites this genre. This CD also presents a very interesting element of creativity - the use of songs from around the world, presented in their native language. "Cadet Rouselle" is one such tune, and shows off a different yet friendly vocal tonality. Moreover, the mesmerizing acoustic intro of "Foyo" best demonstrates the impressive acoustic guitar work on this collection. Additionally, the all-too-familiar "Kookabura" jingle is presented in a fresh new manner, using jazzy guitar work and vocal arrangements. With nonintrusive production, this album maintains its originality, sincerity, and personal feel. Fans of children's classics and acoustic folk will enjoy this wonderful journey into the joys of youth.
