All aboard for a bouncy rendition of the authentic American train song, a song that has been recorded by many folk artists through the generations. The largely pentatonic tune truly chugs along and includes a few blue notes, adding to the fun. Greg's perky arrangement offers independent voice parts, engaging rhythmic counterpoint, and even a few vocal train whistles---woo woo! No matter which voicing suits your group, be sure to consider adding choreography (available free online), and the toe-tapping SoundTrax accompaniment.
