I am often asked to review products and websites.  Many of them are “up my alley”.. meaning educational or kid-friendly.  Most of the time I will be happy to review products if they are able to be donated to a school or charitable organization.  For example, last year I was able to donate about a thousand dollars in back to school products to an area elementary and middle school.  This year I hope to do the same.  So, please join me as I introduce to you from time to time some groovy products and websites.

Let’s start with a very pleasant collection of “feel good” music by Jeff Gold from his ESCAPES, CD.  I needed to relax this past week and Jeff’s music was just the ticket.  Fifteen tunes fill this compilation CD, all a bit different, none boring, and  very much relaxing. I really liked the song, Hanalei, which was a bit upbeat and fun!

Soon, I will be taking ESCAPES “on a walk” as this CD is the perfect soundtrack for a hike or walk about the neighborhood.  I also believe that this set of tunes would be great for school environments. Very calming for “quiet time” or “work time”. Yoga instructors will love this music, too! No heavy drums here.. just soothing music.

Also, when researching a bit about Jeff I found out the following from his own website (which I consider the “juicy” part of his bio) – “Jeff composes and arranges all of his own music, playing the guitars and pianos, and creating other instrumental sounds by computer.  He also does his own mixing, mastering and editing; a skill he perfected as a television editor for shows like MTV’s “Making the Video,” “Baywatch,” “MadTV” and “The Office.” – Now we are talking!  This guy can “speak television”.. A bonus in my opinion.

A+ Jeff Gold for a great set of relaxing music which helped me get through my crazy week and I am sure will benefit many more people in years to come!  Thanks for sharing.
