Listen to her. Debbie will enable you to hear and feel the exquisite yet melancholy beauty of Jewish melodies that must never be forgotten."

REVIEWS OF KINDER SONGS
" I''ve listened to alot of traditional Jewish holiday song recordings and most, for one reason or another should not have been made. But, this one is significantly different. First, Deborah Katchko has a warm, rich voice. Second, she sings honestly. What do I mean? There are no tricks to this recording. Deborah and her guitar, but she''s making music.
Third, she includes 25 ethnic songs full of information and history. This is a Hanukkah gift for the entire family."
Washington Parent
" ...covers a range of songs sung during Jewish holidays, as well as Israeli songs and Yiddish lullabies. Try playing it in the car and singing along!"
Hadassah Magazine
" Kinder Songs is both a Jewish family sing-along and a preschool resource. The CD is perfect for young children, ut their older siblings and parents will enjoy Katchko''s sweetly unaffected singing style and acoustic guitar playing reminiscent of folk-rock icons James Taylor and Judy Collins"
Jewish Woman Magazine
" Kinder Songs accomplishes it''s goals and transcends them: my one and a half year old daughter enjoys it as much as her other, more secular kids'' music recordings"
