What does the song “Froggy Went a Courtin’” mean?
It’s got as much meaning or as little meaning as a Dr. Seuss book. You can think of it as a fairy tale or a story. It’s a really old song with fun, interesting characters.
Did Christylez teach you anything while you were making this album?
Absolutely. On “Hip-Hop Humpty Dumpty,” he came up with the idea of using Humpty Dumpty and the whole story. He had a rhythm structure he wanted to use, and we tried to fit the banjo and cello banjo to his rhythm structure.
Do you know how to beatbox?
I do, but I’m not a good beatboxer. Chris teaches audiences how to beatbox when we do shows together. There’s always a lot of improvisation. We never know what our audiences will be like: one day it might be all preschoolers; another day it might be all fifth graders.
