"Potash has amassed an infectious collection of upbeat, toe-tapping tunes that will have you strutting down the aisle in style – clear and present vocals, good musicianship and nice production values abound ." — John Wood, Kidzmusic.com.

"Don't Forget The Donut!" is the new family music album from Boston Area singer/songwriter Wayne Potash.

Musical guests include the rockin' Alizon Lissance on piano and accordion, and top-notch fiddler Amy Basse.

The CD deatures a lively, entertaining and varied set of tunes with great arrangements and production. There's folk, bluegrass, rock, pop, country, jazz and more. The collection of 19 songe features originals penned by Potash as well as classics including "Boo Boo" and "Seven Nights to Rock" (both with new lyrics so the kids can get into the fun). Wayne's original tunes like the opening "Stunt Car" and "Wiggly Tooth" set the time and traditional tunes like "Hot Corn, Cold Corn" and "Cindy" add to the playful atmosphere. All songs have been audienced tested and are favorites in concerts and classrooms. As always, Potash's music for kids is very adult friendly. Forget about sugar-coated music for kids, but "Don't Forget the Donut!"
