Question

It is easier to find songs for adults than for kids. The market in children’s music is growing, however. Babies learn about music from the simple songs that their parents sing to them. When the children are older, their parents might teach them songs as part of a game. BB King’s recording of Rainy Day Blues follows this tradition. Most of BB King’s fans, however, may not know about his recordings for children. They only know that he writes very popular blues(布魯斯樂曲) songs for adults.

BB King, a great blues musician, recorded Rainy Day Blues for a company called Music for Little People.

The company began when a man named Leib Ostrow was looking for songs for his children. He looked for them in stores and looked through books. He could not find anything that he really liked, so he decided to begin a recording company of his own. Soon he was recording music for children. Many parents thought it was a great idea. So did many recording artists.

Music for Little People is located in northern California. It started as a mail-order business in 1985.Today it is one of the largest children’s musical and educational companies in the United States.
