Most will always know Davy Jones as a Monkee, and rightfully so as the original TV band had a profound impact on the history of pop music and, later, the Shrek movie empire. But there are at least a few youngsters, two of whom reside in my home, who were […]
New Nashville-based family music duo Alli & Andrew released their debut self-titled album of professionally recorded, upbeat all-ages tunes late last year, but are finding some success on You Tube with a pair of clever videos for their original songs (the tasty “Grilled Cheese” and the a-little-too-over-the-top-instructional “H-E-L-P”) and one […]

The Pop Ups electro-acoustic new […]
The Mouse and I are off to see Dr. Dog this afternoon in Phillytown. Figured this would be as good an opportunity as any to share a very kid-friendly video of theirs, for the song “Shadow People” off the band’s 2010 album “Shame, Shame”. Why kid appropriate? Well, ’cause it’s […]
