Greg and Steve still entertain
A singing group has staying power when the parents of its target audience know the words to the songs, too. Such is the continuing story of Greg Sclesa and Steve Millang, writers and singers of children’s songs, who were in Bakersfield once again from March 10-12 entertaining preschoolers and elementary age students as they have done for more than two decades. Approximately 8,000 children, parents, teachers and caregivers attended the three-day songfest, an annual fundraiser for Community Connection for Child Care (CCCC), held at Valley Baptist Church in Bakersfield. "My son, who is 24 years-old, still sings their months of the year song," said Lisa Duncan-Purcell, CCCC program manager. She has been the event’s coordinator for the past 11 years. "We get a lot of repeat visitors because many of the preschool, special education and early grammar school teachers use Greg and Steve’s music in their classrooms to help teach basic educational concepts." If you were not aware of that, watching a Greg and Steve concert would be fun enough. More
