Tim Barry and Josh Small Rock Mary Munford

I’ve been a fan of Avail’s Tim Barry for um well, 17 years. I guess that makes me old. 

I’m also a huge fan of Mary Munford Elementary School teacher Sarah Kiesler. 

You put the two together, with a classroom of second graders, and what you have is simply magic.  Take a listen.

 Vinyl Collective offers links to the mp3 versions and even talks of putting it out as a 7″. (A great idea if you ask me).

 They not only played 3 songs which included 2 Woodie Guthrie renditions, but they also did a Munford Style version of “Shoulda Oughtta”. Their buddy, Dave Watkins, recorded the entire thing and the songs are available in mp3 format. I highly recommend everyone take a listen, the recording sounds great and the songs are so much fun with the backing gang vocals of the 2nd grade. After listening to the songs, I had the idea of asking Tim to let us put this out as a 7?. Tim and Josh could pose with the 2nd grade for the cover art. Let me know what you think. 

Tim Barry live at Mary Munford Elementary School
June 10, 2008 - Ms. Kieslers 2nd Grade Class

“Hey Lolly (by Woody Guthrie)” (download mp3)

“This Land.. (By Woody Guthrie)” (download mp3)

” Shoulda Oughta - Munford Style (Tim Barry)” (download mp3)

Wish I had inspiration like that when I was in grade school!

    Totally cute community blogging. More content like this, please.

    I had wondered if I was getting older or if AVAIL fans could possibly get any younger. Maybe Tim has found his niche market: all ages shows on the K-12 circuit. Totally dig it.

    The R-rated conversation continues over at punknews.com. I just have to say, Yes, I think the kids did know how lucky they are. Afterall, Sarah Keisler is their teacher. Maybe that can be Tim’s next song since it rhymes an all.

    [...] A while back, I wrote about how Avail’s Tim Barry performed at Mary Munford for Ms. Kieslers class.   The really great part is that you can hear the performance as an MP3 online.  [...]
