Simply put . . . Raffi is awesome!
He can stand alone on a stage and totally engage with his audience. His music is varied, beautiful and fun. My only complaint about the music is that with all the popular "Raffi" music, I was a bit disappointed at some of the songs that were performed vs, some that were omitted.
My greater disappointment was with the audience and the fact that very many parents today are not teaching their children etiquette. Dancing in the rows and aisles, clapping, singing . . . are all part of the Raffi experience. Just running up and down the aisles, however, and the unwillingness to remove a fussy, disinterested child puts a definite damper on the experience for those around us.
