Wickety Whack-
Brer Rabbit is
Back
This recording is dedicated to my mother, who always said that she was born and bred in a briar patch, just like Brer Rabbit.
These tales told by the slaves in the American South are brought to rousing & joyful life with music & song. Telling these tales gave the slaves hope & faith that they too could survive & persevere in the face of their troubles just like Brer Rabbit. Program Click underlined tracks for samples

Thanks to the response and wonderful support
for the first Knick Knack Paddy Whack recording, it has been
a joy to record Knick Knack Paddy Whack 2. With Erik Pearson
on banjo & guitar. Old songs, stories, & traditions seem to die if they are not remembered and valued. This collection is designed so that young people as well as the entire family can sing, dance, & clap along with the songs, and laugh and chuckle with the stories. These songs and stories are not just for children...this is a family thing. |

In this recording Diane not only tells a story about Aesop, but also adapts five of her favorite Aesop fables with her special zest and humor. His fables have served for ages as examples of wisdom, morals, and lessons for humanity. Aesop set the stage over two millennia ago for all storytellers to follow.
This CD is the result of a family show that her dear friend Melba Jones asked her to perform for the Once Upon a Story Festival. Diane had so much fun adapting the fables and adding music and song that this recording was just a natural. |
Aesop: Alive and Well Ages 5 & up
Accompanied by Erik Pearson on vocals, banjo, guitar, and bass, and by some of Diane's very special friends.

 Accompanied by Erik Pearson on banjo and guitar, and by students from Meadows Livingstone School in San Francisco. Respect for the elders is what I learned from my parents and grandparents as a child. I believe respect for others and respect for self begins with the choices we make in how we meet, greet, and talk to each other. Included are stories from African American folk tales, personal stories, fables, and even a Langston Hughes short story. |

Playful rendering of stories and songs for
young children--and
their parents! These songs and stories have been passed from generation to generation. I grew up hearing and singing most of these songs. As a storyteller, one of my main goals is to contribute in any way I can to the rejuvenation of storytelling and singing as a part of everyday life. |
