Have you ever taken the time to be kind or share an encouraging word and then watched as the world got brighter around you? Then you've experienced bucket filling. It sounds a lot like Red Grammer's music, which is why this collaborative effort between award-winning, family music artist, Red Grammer and the award-winning author of the classic children's book,"Have You Filled Your Bucket Today?", Carol McCloud, works so well. Some time ago, Red was approached by Carol to consider creating a musical recording in celebration of Bucket Filling. Upon reading"Have You Filled A Bucket Today?" he was deeply touched by its simple, profound message and ended up flying to Florida to meet with Carol to see what might unfold. By the end of the weekend they had written two songs for the recording and Red was on his way. Three months later he was in the studio recording the full album. The happy result is"Circle of Light: Songs for Bucket Fillers."Carol's Bucket Filling books are great tools to encourage the best in children as they see how very easy and rewarding it is to express kindness, appreciation , and love on a daily basis. Now children can sing-along to Red's joyful, sparkling songs while internalizing the sweet messages of bucket filling. For teachers, Red has included a sing-along instrumental track for every song so your class can sing to each other, the school, and the community, songs that help them express how joyful they feel about being bucket fillers. In addition to the songs written for the project, the album also includes an exciting new version of"See Me Beautiful", one of Red's most beloved songs. This version is compliments of the supporters of Red Grammer's Interactive Touch-Screen Music Videos Initiative.The album was produced by JB Eckl of Santana and Badasht fame. Red and Carol hope these songs remind everyone what a difference each one of us can make in the world when we choose to be a bucket filler. Enjoy!
