The Los Angeles Times says, "American music history was never this fun."

From Stephen Foster to George M. Cohan, from Fats Waller to John Philip Sousa, musician-performers, Mark Beckwith and Obediah Thomas incorporate their own zany brand of humor as they sing and play their way back through time and across America. Bluegrass, Gospel, Hawaiian, Western, Jazz, Blues, Folk and Rock 'n Roll are performed with guitar, trumpet, and vocals. Audiences enjoy doing Cajun hambonin', singing contests, and watching surprise guests from the audience dance the Charleston or the Jitterbug.

"Thank you so much for the fantastic assemblies you performed at our school yesterday! I haven't received this much thanks from the teachers and students for any other assembly that I've brought to the school. I was bombarded this morning with questions as to when you will be back at our school. I would definitely like to have you back next year. I will be in touch. Thanks again...you guys are great!"
- Janet McAnan, PTC 1st Vice President, Santa Clarita Elementary

"It was awesome - nonstop laughter and action..."

"Your Music of America assembly was absolutely the best school assembly I have ever seen. The audience was involved in a super-positive way and the music was truly a cross of historical music of America. Our class loved it and I thought it was wonderful!!!"
- Mrs. Suburu, 3rd grade teacher, room 7, Eissler School

"We truly enjoyed your outstanding American patriotic musical performance. The teachers couldn't be more impressed. It is rare to see an educational program that is original and refreshing. The kids were humming all the way back to the classrooms."
