CHILDREN'S ALBUM

Happy songs for kids and kids at heart is the name of the game on Laughing Laura's debut album. This catchy collection of 15 original songs and cheers is the first ever laughter-themed children's album. Laughing Laura and the Gigglers are accompanied by an upbeat jazz trio. Think Charlie Brown music meets Mr. Rogers with zany lyrics. Today is a Laughing Day delivers big, swingin' fun to inspire lots of laughing, singing, and dancing for the whole family!

EDITORIAL REVIEW
This new CD is called Today is a Laughing Day. It contains 15 original songs with Laughing Laura and her chorus of Laughketeers backed by a really fabulous jazz trio featuring Tom Bourcier on piano, Karyn Quinn on bass and Rich MacDonald playing the drums.

These are tough times, and it’s more important now than ever to laugh and be merry. Laura’s CD is great fun. The songs are upbeat and immensely pleasurable to listen to. And whatever mood you’re in, after listening to this CD, it feels like a weight has lifted. There are many standout tracks, but I’d especially point you towards Laughter Friends, Turkey The Turtle (which is about her pet turtle), Enthusiastic, and my personal favorite, Smile Millionaire. The music is swinging, upbeat jazz, and the lyrics are ones only Laughing Laura could write. These are totally unique creations that lift the spirit.

...Laura says this is an album for 'kids and kids at heart,' and frankly, it works for all ages. The lyrics are lighthearted, and the quick tempo of the jazz will get your toe tapping.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
I play Today is a Laughing Day every single day for my grandson. He LOVES it! He starts to clap on the first song—he loves the laughing, bouncing and especially the R-O-A-R! He starts to wiggle and dance on “Laughter Friends” and he loves the Turtle song. The entire family cannot seem to get the songs out of their heads. Both of my daughters have said they wake up in the morning with the songs playing in their heads!
