Don't Miss The Boat
Editorial Reviews
Maureen Weldon, For Pete's Sake Preschool,MA
"Fantastic! Wonderful entertainment for our kids!"
Heldegarde Johnston, Goshen Int. School
"Thank you for this marvelous experience! Our kids loved you"
Album Description
An collection of songs for children and the entire family. Includes many popular sing-a-longs like, "The Unicorn", "Down By The Bay", "The Garden Song", and "You Are My Sunshine", and others. The originals, which are the lifeblood of Uncle Danny's schools performances, bring 'added values' to a music program. Here are a few: "Don't Miss The Boat" (never give up, pay attention, practice makes perfect), "Jesse's Bike" (a special kind of sharing), "This Old Tree" (respecting others, especially your elders), "The Invention Song" (using your imagination). Don't miss the boat on this album (too perfect, I know!). Regardless, this CD is a lively, fun, educational....OK, perfect collection of songs for young people as well as the entire family. There is something soothing, yet energetic about the voice of Danny Quinn, also known to children as 'Uncle' Danny. We have written about Danny for years with his adult folk and Irish music, but there is something truly magical about his children performances. Whether he is by himself or with Tom Gardner as The Uncle Brothers, Danny delivers a musical message that any parent should embrace and feed to their children's ears. From the very unique treatment of "The Unicorn" (I don't want to give it away), to his Elvis-style "You Are My Sunshine", Danny delivers fun as well as many 'added values'. What else could we, as parents, expect from a family CD? Enjoy "Don't Miss The Boat"

Customer Reviews:
Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30
Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.
Top Shelf.......2007-01-04
This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.
TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23
THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.
Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14
This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway
Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17
If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Don't Miss This One!.......2003-04-13
You might know of Quinn as a troubador who sings somewhere in your town. He sings Irish and American folk music better than just about anyone currently around. But he is also concerned about children, and the entertainment available for them! This is one of Quinn's CDs for kids and it is a gem. A collection of familiar songs, and some specially written, this is going to please the whole family. Some songs have a message -- 'Learn To Read' -- and some are just raucous toe-tappin' sing-alongs. I can't choose a favorite from this collection, but tonight I lean toward 'Down By The Bay'. Go for this one -- for your kids and for yourself.
Kid Fun.......2001-05-21
To keep children humming and dancing, this is a great CD. I was looking specifically for The Unicorn song which I remember as a child - that is just one of many of the songs my daughter loves to hear now.
Great kid's music that grown-ups will love too!.......1999-12-02
I've got two kids and alot of the music I have to listen to can be painful. This CD keeps the kids happy and is very easy listening. Nice lessons in the song mix as well.

Customer Reviews:
Possibly the best Kern collection so far.......1999-11-17
This album brings you as close to Kern's intentions as you will probably ever get. A rival set on EMI with Kiri Te Kanawa uses full orchestra and her delivery of the nearly operatic numbers do indeed rival Morris's. On the other hand, Morris's mezzo, I believe, does fuller justice to the all of the songs; and as for the use of piano vs. full orchestra, well less is more in this case.
More to the point, Morris sings (as she always does) as if she means every single word. So Kiri's rendition (say) of "Look for the silver lining" is perhaps better sung but that of Morris is more believable. Frankly I would recommend both albums, but this would be the one of choice.

Customer Reviews:
A different world.......2004-03-07
There's an innocence about this album, originally recorded in the early 1950s. Arrangements charming, and the voices of June Ericson and Warren Galjour respectively sweet and stalwart.
Note : The David Daniels who sings on this album is an altogether different person from the Countertenor David Daniels who wasn't born or even thought of in 1955. Amazon listings, heal thyself.
Best songs: Just Let Me Look at You; Up With the Lark. Kern at his most melodic.
Boring.......2003-06-16
I got thi CD to hear David Daniels. He is nothing special on this CD (in contrast to later in his career where he is A#1) and I guess it's a nice CD, but did nothing for me.

Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19
Volume 2 (comprised of 2 CDs) is another first rate compilation of the series' original music and not to be missed by U.N.C.L.E. fans. The liner notes are wonderful and add a lot to ones appreciation of the music.
My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.
The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......2005-07-12
Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.
Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.
And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.
Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.
This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.
Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.
So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.
