HERE'S HARVEY!        He's a Great Ol' Guy

HARVEY THE GILA MONSTER IS CHILDREN'S POPULAR HERO

 Harvey the Gila Monster is a hit! Children's musician Persephone has converted "America's Aztec Lizard" into a whimsical singing character. You'll hear the "unique personality," words and music of Harvey on Persephone's recording "Kid at Heart," available on cassette tape and compact disc.

"Everybody loves the song," Persephone says of Harvey the Gila Monster. "People always want to hear it-at schools, in homes, at my public appearances. They all love Harvey."

HARVEY'S HISTORY
Persephone created the character Harvey the Gila Monster for music students at a Jewish pre-school in Scottsdale, Arizona. To her original tune, she added a special twist to the age-old Jewish song "Hava Nagila." Accompanied by Persephone's piano and a bouzouki (a Greek stringed instrument), this lively and playful song celebrates the Gila Monster as a likeable guy with "good personality." "I love animals and follow a live-and-let-live philosophy of mutual respect," Persephone says. Her message to children is: Don't judge the Gila Monster just because he might look scary. He won't bite you unless you scare him. As her lyrics say: "Have a Gila Monster as your friend." Look for Harvey in concert with Persephone. You can't miss him-he'll have a turned-up tail, beaded black-and-orange skin, and may even be wearing a tuxedo!
