In 2010, Elizabeth Mitchell and You Are My Flower released Sunny Day, their second Smithsonian Folkways album of "handmade" music of the finest kind, for folks of all ages. A true family affair, Sunny Day features performances with Mitchells husband and musical partner, Daniel Littleton, their nine-year-old daughter Storey, and Storeys cousins and friends.
"I used to sing this with my students at the Roosevelt Island Day Nursery every day. Every day! They never got tired of it, especially the part where we would do a little switcheroo and they would sing the lead and I would sing "yes maam!" back to them. Now its Storeys turn!"
Guest performers include:
Levon Helm
Dan Zanes
Jon Langford (Mekons)
The Children of Agape Choir of South Africa
