As the mother of a child that was diagnosed with Cancer, this CD and the story behind it just pulls at my heart.<\/p>\n

Alastair Moock<\/strong><\/a>, one of Boston\u2019s folk luminaries and an award-winning family music recording artist, will release a new album,\u00a0Singing Our\u00a0Way\u00a0Through: Songs for the World\u2019s Bravest Kids.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Inspired by his family\u2019s experience with childhood leukemia, the new album includes songs for children with cancer, and for all families who like joyous\u00a0sing-along songs.<\/p>\n

Last July one of Alastair Moock’s twin 5-year-old daughters was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia). \u00a0“It felt like we were drowning.” says Moock. \u00a0“For the first week or so, my wife and I walked around the hospital in a trance. \u00a0Then I went home and got my guitar.” \u00a0Over the course of the next hospital-bound month, Alastair and his daughter Clio, sang and wrote songs together in her room. \u00a0“It was amazing how her mood brightened in those moments. \u00a0The effect was tangible.”<\/p>\n

After Clio returned home and cancer treatment became the new normal for the Moock family, Alastair continued to write songs about the experience. \u00a0“Singing together in the hospital was transformative, not just for Clio but for me. \u00a0It reminded me how powerful music can be,” says Moock, “and I wanted to bring that experience to other kids and families going through the same thing.”<\/p>\n

    A crowd-funding campaign\u00a0through\u00a0GoFundMe raised more than $27,600 for\u00a0Singing\u00a0Our\u00a0Way\u00a0Through<\/em>\u00a0in early 2013, soaring well past the initial goal of $10,000. Funds from this campaign will support distribution of the album as a free resource for patients and pediatric oncology programs around the country. Already, Alastair has donated to Boston Children’s Hospital and the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang camp in CT.\u00a0CD sales will further support Moock\u2019s effort to get these tunes in the hands of kids and families with cancer.<\/p>\n

    There is a seriousness of purpose to the songs on\u00a0Singing\u00a0Our\u00a0Way\u00a0Through<\/em>, but also a great deal of joy. In songs like \u201cWhen I Get Bald,\u201d Moock demonstrates his ability to be both playful and pointed at the same time. \u201cThere\u2019s so much you can\u2019t control about cancer,\u201d says Moock, \u201cbut what interests me most as a writer \u2013 and a parent of a kid with cancer \u2013 are the parts you can control. Being bald is cool if we choose to make it cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
