Tribute to John Muir
by Betsy Keithcart
"Tribute to John Muir" is one of twelve songs written and performed by Betsy Keithcart on her Mother O' Pearl Audio Cassette. Inspired by the enthusiasm of her elementary science students, her strong sense of family, and her appreciation of the natural world, Betsy presents these
songs on tape for the first time. Mother O'Pearl releases songs with harmonious and environmenal messages Betsy has written with students, family, and friends.
Just try to keep up with the infectious sing-along, "The Twelve Days of Science." Or explore the pbysics of sound while you relax to the resonant harmonics of the guitar in "Mother O'Pearl" and pentatonic harmonies on the
troubadour harp in the "Tribute to John Muir."
Also available: Mother O' Pearl Songbook
Written by Betsy Keithcart as a companion piece to the audio cassette, this songbook offers not only the lyrics to the songs, but also insight into the stories behind the songs. Who is Pearl? Read the Songbook and find out! The
