Yes M'am, Respect for the Elders

CD Details

Product Description

Respect for the elders is what I learned from my parents and grandparents as a child. I believe respect for others and respect for self begins with the choices we make in how we meet, greet, and talk to each other. I hope these songs and stories will remind us that we all want respect and how important it is to give it.
“There is wisdom in the old tales, and in the tales of the old,that hold truths that we need to know today”
