Last year, the fine folks behind Kansas City’s Jiggle Jam put together the greatest weekend of kid’s music imaginable. Heck, even letting me on the main stage to introduce one of the bands couldn’t detract from the greatness of the festivities! I contend this lineup, top to bottom, may never […]
…working backwards now, we spent our last two nights in Davis, WV at a charming B&B named The Meyer House. The building dates back to the late 19th century and much of the interior remains decidedly vintage-Victorian. We selected the Blue Room as it features, in addition to a queen […]
My girls are digging Zanes more than ever. That’s partly because we just saw him play in KC and partly because of their recent introduction to his Around the Kitchen! Live DVD. In particular, the songs “Wonder Wheel” and his version of “Pay Me My Money Down”, have peaked their […]

Greetings from the Midwest! We’re on our way back home now, but managed to squeeze in enough free time on the hotel’s WiFi network to create 2 Jiggle Jam photo albums. Head over to the OWTK Facebook Page, become a fan, and either relive the greatest Family Music Festival in […]

They Might Be Giants broke out a new tune on Saturday night in Kansas City. The tune, composed and sung by TMBG bass player Danny Weinkauf, is called “Paleontologist” and it’s from the forthcoming “Here Comes Science”.
