Concert: July 09, Boy Scout Camp Elizabeth talks with a Scout as she prepares for the concert at the Pavilion in Chester, NY. Elizabeth playing her electro-acoustic Ovation guitar. She wears a wireless headset to interact with the crowd; the extra mikes are there for the KIDS to come up and sing along. Making funny faces at the crowd: The theme of the Scouting week was "Pirates," hence her costume. Unfortunately, she did not prepare any pirate songs, so instead, she and the Scouts made up songs together. They called out words, and she made up melodies on the spot, and she turned them into "call-and-response" songs. Turned out to be an even bigger hit than if she'd learned the chords to "Way, Hey, Blow the Man Down." At every concert, Elizabeth brings a (bright orange) suitcase FULL of drums, shakers, tambourines, and other instruments for her new "band recruits" who join her onstage for the sing-alongs. Nearly every song Elizabeth writes is quick and easy to learn and sing along with. Visit the InklessTales YouTube Channel for a taste of the Row Row Row Song. You've NEVER heard "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" like THIS. Elizabeth segments the audience into three sections, deputizing two or three volunteer "section leaders" for each group. They THINK it's going to be a boring sing-a-long, until she shocks them all by launching a digitally-prepared World Beat she's created in advance. They ROCK the house, loudly, as Elizabeth heads up and down the sections, keeping time with her hand-held djembe drum she's decorated with, of all things, car sign vinyl. Elizabeth is MAD for puppets, and found this cranberry scoop at a junk shop - perfect for displaying not only CDs for sale, but also her collection of finger puppets. (Too bad there aren't enough spokes to hold them ALL.) To listen to Elizabeth's original music, visit www.inklesstunes.com. To purchase some of the CDs shown here - Lullabies for Listening (proven to put my OWN kids to sleep, no small feat!), or Sing Out Loud, only $10 each, visit the Inkless Tales store, at www.inklesstales.com/store
