FAMILY MUSIC
Artist picture
This is actually an extension of my music career - a secondary career as a music teacher and performer for family audiences, which I began in 1991 in Los Angeles. So, once again, my band is mainly me - although I've performed with many of my music students and have even created a number of bands with those students over the years. I would assemble a student band - a rock band, by the way - and under my guidence they would perform at their graduations or December holiday events.

Lyrics
I LOVE READING words & music by Tom Fair (C) 1994 / 2001 I love reading! Open my mind to a happy time. I love reading! Sit in my chair, go anywhere! I love reading: any new book, I want it first; I love reading: my ticket to the Universe! With a book on magic, and a book on music. With a book on math and how to use it. With a map of London, and a map of Cairo; You'd be surprised to learn what I know! repeat chorus With a book on Canada, and a book on roses. I can read about cameras or the life of Moses. With a book on chemistry, and a book on weather, But the dictionary is the best book ever! Ee-e-e-e-e-e-ah! Here's a book on Old Japan (I love reading) Edison was a clever man (I love reading) Harriet Tubman saved some lives (I love reading) Henry the Eighth had many wives (I love reading) Poetry from the British Isles (I love reading) Pirate ships and crocodiles (I love reading) Myst'ry stories and their clues (I love reading) Definitions I can use (I love reading) Mowgli, Bambi, Winnie the Pooh (I love reading) Peter Pan, Br'er Rabbit too (I love reading) Chinese folksongs I can sing (I love reading) Read about Martin Luther King (I love reading) Meet the boys who dive for pearls (I love reading) Gaze at reptiles of the world (I love reading) Learn the workings of a car (I love reading) Ride with Simon Bolivar (I love reading) I love reading, I love reading I love reading, I love reading !
