A recording session of the Youth Singing Workshop/Pacific Youth Choir singing original music is being scheduled for this summer. All singers will receive a demo CD containing their song, "Walking Through The Jungle" by the end of the year 2000. The CD are songs built on children's story/art books, original music by Scott Nagatani (composer/musical director) and will be produced as a demo for the Children's Museum of Los Angeles. Kerry Carnahan will also be singing on the CD, comprised of at least 20 storysongs.
