The Gap in the Fence is Leslie Vogel’s second solo album. Her enchanting, original songs take us on various rhythmic adventures – from an early morning gallop to picking blueberries under the sun, from a cheerful song about breakfast in the frying pan, to a lyrical ballad of a child growing up. Some songs and tunes inspire random singing and dancing in the kitchen, while the lullaby brings us full circle to a love of nature and the planet Earth on which we live. Leslie is assisted by several excellent musicians who add their special talents to the soundscape. Each song is dedicated to a person or group in a wide embrace of her family and community.

An album of music for children and families created and produced by Leslie Vogel. In this adventurous and lyrical recording we are taken by the hand and led into a fairyland which is deeply rooted in the real life stories and songs that are a part of our multi-faceted American cultural traditions. Drawing from this rich heritage, Leslie Vogel has gathered her own creative forces and combined them with the many talents of highly skilled musician friends, band members and family members to bring out this collection of original and traditional songs. Of this recording Leslie comments: “Several years ago I started thinking about making a family album. I always sang to my own children at bedtime, but over many years of performing these particular songs rarely saw the light of day. It was time to bring them out. As I contemplated this project and ideas for arrangements and instruments started forming, I realized that I wanted young voices singing with our more seasoned musicians. I asked the members of my teen Fiddle Orchestra to join us—and they did, with great energy and enthusiasm.”
