Reviews of High Five-

My Kids- "Awesome!"

Santa Clara Weekly- "Imagine listening to an audio interpretation of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” where the playful song launches with primitive beats, veers into Native American rhythms, and then travels through the many different periods of American music. Such is “Time Travel Twinkle,” a new track in Sean’s Music Factory’s second children’s music album, “High Five.” Many pieces on this album mingle fresh, kid-friendly tunes with upbeat alternative rock."

San Jose Mercury- "Interaction is a keystone for Mendelson's performances"

This album is for the whole family to enjoy. So everybody please sing and dance along! Thanks to all my present fans for coming to shows.

A note about my Twinkle arrangement: I wanted to take the melody from primitive times before America was America, all the way to present.
