The Not-Its! “Participation Trophy” — their fine song from their fine album KidQuake! — is all yours for FREEEEEE right now as a clever and sensible reaction to Participation Trophy-Gate spurred on […]

The Modern Musical Barnyard and Jazz for Kids

A pair of new music pieces of mine were published today on Red Tricycle (National) and Cooper & Kid’s Catch E-Zine. I don’t write about kid’s music too much around here these days, as you probably noticed, but I’m still out there on the internets being a constant vocal champion […]

World Premiere Song: The Pop Ups “Pictures Making Pictures”

I don’t exactly do crafts. Blame my mom. There isn’t much in this world that gives me the twitches something awful quite like the sight of jar of glitter gone askew on a carpeted floor or paper shavings distributed evenly everywhere. I am far from the Mike Adamick-type. That dude […]
