Measurable Outcome(s)
Several people in the audience had heard his mermaid song on the radio and were looking forward to a live performance. Many of his songs were based on books and characters like Peter Pan, mermaids, and Sherlock Holmes. Paul acknowledged and promoted books, play, and characters from the library and reading. He included a lot of very successful audience participation both calling up individuals to help and engaging the entire audience in singing, chanting, yelling, clapping, making various sounds and motions. We heard many thank you’s and requests to bring him back again.
