Northeast Performer reviews Don't Forget the Donut!

�Children? We have a special guest. Mr. Potash has come a long way to play some of his music for us,� intones the teacher, and here comes Wayne Potash. The first thing he�ll probably tell the class is to �just call me Wayne,� because Mr. Potash is wearing a tie-dyed t-shirt and no shoes; furthermore he is sitting on the ground in front of a large plate of donuts. This is not the sort of behavior adopted by anyone who wishes to be in authority, and is just what makes Wayne Potash�s Don�t Forget the Donut an example of great children�s music. Potash doesn�t so much sing to the kids as he sings for the kids, and often with the kids. Instead of serenading puppets, Potash knocks down all the scenery with Don�t Forget the Donut. There are some funny songs, but he never sounds like a buffoon, even when singing about the lobster dance.
Potash sings reassuringly about stuff that can usually cause a little bit of anxiety in a kid�s world. �Look At My New Shoes� is an almost poignant ballad about replacing his old shoes with new ones. No matter how much you agonized over which Doc Martens to get last year, this song brings anyone back to the age where getting a new pair of shoes represented a significant change that could possibly get you stomped. He�s got cool new shoes, they�ll help him run faster and all sorts of cool things, so he�s good with it. As trivial as some of these things may sound to adults, Potash sings every note without a hint of a smirk or irony. His performance is honest and genuine, and any kid who gets to hear this rather than some silly dancing dinosaur is already ahead of the game. (Happy House Records)
