Bill Harley: A Storyteller for All Ages
Songs and a Story
Listen to full-length songs and a story, 'The Teachers' Lounge,' from Bill Harley.
Bill Harley's lyrics are smart, funny and, at times, poignant. He writes for children, but he avoids dumbing-down his work; his music is never patronizing, insipid or boring. Harley's stories and songs help parents remember what it was like to be a kid.
