I've enjoyed mine, but I'm hoping for an Indian Summer. Make sure and get your orders in for the start of the school year. Nothing like starting the school year with your kids singing "Don't Spread Your Germs Around" and "Rubba Dub Dub" to ward off the germs of the flu and cold season. You can download the songs here and copy and paste the words from my "Lyrics" page or if you prefer you can order a physical CD from my "Online Store" at the "Buy It" tab. have a wonderful school year. Remember to "cough and sneeze in your shoulder"... Sincerely for Healthy Kids...Ms. Dawn Updating Website 06/30/2009
Just letting you know TSN is in forward motion. I'm in the process of updating my website so I am more searchable to teachers, nurses and medical professionals. I want to find and be found by all those cool people who work with small children and care about healthy living. Please pass the word. I will also be adding a new BandBox Player to my website so it will be really easy to download and get The Singing Nurse songs into educators hands and to the children. You can see the player right now @ www.MySpace.com/MsDawnTheSingingNurse  My last project is now complete. Three Rice students found my website while looking for health songs and contacted me about writing some songs for their Beyond Traditional Borders program, and "Global Health Songs, Songs for Life and Healthy Living" was born. They really enjoyed "Babies are Beautiful" and asked me to write some songs to go along with their reproductive health curriculum which encourages families to visit the local clinic where they can receive medical help and education. My hope is that "Global Health Songs" will be a vehicle to connect needy families with competent health care givers in their community. The Song titles are: 1."Won't You Come to the Clinic", a song with Latin beats encouraging families to come to the clinic where the doctor and nurse are there to help them. 2."See Your Doctor Nurse and Friend",a gentle Rap song encouraging families to visit the clinic where they can "see your doctor, nurse and friend, they can give you medicine." 3. "Everyone is Healthy!" a harmony filled acapella song that starts with fear of the health care providers and turns to reasons why "The Doctor helps your baby, the doctor helps your little child". Josh enhances this tune with harmony and echos back in Spanish. 4. "Go to the Doctor" flutes and hand drums give this song a Native American feel which shares "go to the clinic, come to the clinic, everyone there is friendly and nice". I think this one is my favorite. 5-8 are all the same songs sung acapella using simple rhythm instruments which provides examples to health care givers who may use the songs in remote villages without electricity. Hope you enjoy and let your medical missionary friends hear. God Bless, Ms Dawn, The Singing Nurse You can hear 2 of the songs @ www.MySpace.com/MsDawnTheSingingNurse Photo by Amelia/CAFOD 8/04 May update 05/08/2009

I am very excited to be working on 4 songs for 3 Rice students. The songs are helping to promote the health program they are working on for Gautemala and Botswana. They are involved in a program at Rice University called BeyondTraditionalBorders. I did some preproducting yesterday and like the way they are coming along. One of my music friends Josh, is going to help by adding some spanish words and vocals to the recordings. Hope you had a great Easter 04/12/2009
Just wanted to say Happy Easter to all of you who stop by. Easter is a wonderful time of year, the weather is starting to break, flowers are pushing their way into the world and we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. What a great deal, we give God all our sins and He gives us a Great Mercy and Eternity with Him. Have a Great Week. Sing to the Lord a new song... Walking Song Up-date... 03/19/2009
Jenna is a very sweet 17 year old and a typical teen in every way. Because of her many illnesses, surgeries and the loss of a younger brother, Jenna has developed a genuine compassion for others. Jenna ended up having scoliosis and while they were correcting the scoliosis, a tumor was dislodged which caused a partial stoke. Jenna is now a partial paraplegic and was told by the doctor that she would never walk again. Well this dear young lady has baffled many a doctors and medical professionals over her life time. We decided to write a song about her struggles and victories about walking again. What's up for March? 02/28/2009
Hope you all have endured the cold winter, I am sooo.. looking forward to the warmer weather. March is one of those iffy months where the temps and conditions outside can be unpredictable. Just to encourage you, the warmer weather is just around the corner. Jenna and I wanted to have some fun with the 12 Days of Christmas. We wanted to write about eating healthy, because Jenna, other Paraplegic and Quadriplegic patients have concerns about being Regular. We laughed until we cried and learned as we were having some fun. |
