This-A-Way, That-A-Way

Ella Jenkins
This-A-Way, That-A-Way This-A-Way, That-A-Way is full of cheerful songs and chants. The album was recorded at the conclusion of Ella’s tour of middle Tennessee in 1973 as part of an Implementing Elementary Music Improvement program. During that tour, Ella worked with over 10,000 students and teachers. On This-A-Way, That-A-Way, she sings with some of these students and plays ukulele, fiddle, guitar, and kazoo. Among other traditional and original songs, the album features tracks like “Please Is a Pleasant Expression,” which teaches "please" in four different languages, and the counting song “I Like the Way That They Stack the Hay.” Recommended for ages 2–9.
