Listen, Soak Up and Enjoy...Behind the Music is a Living Whole Online podcast series that spotlights the stories of musician composers. The more we deepen our understanding and appreciation of the creative process from which music, art, writing, photography, filmmaking, energy practices and family connections emerge, the more we can embrace those creative energies within our own lives, and enhance our health, healing and relationships with ourselves and others.
Listen to this lovely conversation between Kathryn Hayward, MD and award-winning composer and musician, Bill Shontz,. Bill is now performing on his own, having been one half of RosenShontz, the music duo that brought children’s music into genres including rock n’ roll, rap, blues, country and jazz. Bill and Gary Rosen composed and performed songs that both children and adults love.
This Behind the Music podcast comes from his solo album, Teddy Bear’s Greatest Hits, and features Bill’s version of Teddy Bear’s Picnic, which became the centerpiece of RosenShontz’s popular Teddy Bear’s Picnic and Teddy Bear’s Jamboree concerts.
