As I mention during the podcast, the fingerprints of Dean Jones are all over this month’s playlist…and I am totally cool with that. Whether its songs from albums he produced or made himself or made with friends, there is no denying that it is the age of Deano in kindie […]
They are like children, difficult to pick a favorite. But behind closed doors, and in hush tones, I’d admit to you that this, the December 2012 episode, it my favorite installment of the OWTK KMM Podcast thus far. Hopefully you will find that the mix of (mostly) new songs from […]
Two different kindie music events on the same day? Shit, it’s almost feelin’ like NYC ’round these parts. Take advantage of this, folks, it doesn’t happen every weekend in the City of Brotherly Love. The Deedle Deedle Dees @ The Kimmel Center – Sat 3/10 11am – FREE EVENT! I […]
A couple of things to keep in mind here: 2011 is, for the purpose of these lists, defined as 11/1/10-10/31/11 (with special exception being made for one disc, “Strange Dees, Indeed”, officially released on 11/1). I went out to 52 top songs for 2011 because I had to. In fact, […]

The OWTKids enjoyed 8 bands, 4 author readings, 2 hotel swimming pools, 1 Bart’s cookie dough ice cream cone, a half dozen free Stonyfield yogurts, a bag of Gummi Bears, and 4 yards of Twizzlers. Yeah, it was a good trip. The 2011 Meltdown Family Book & Music Festival assembled […]
Tucked away in an idyllic New England town is one of the finest annual children’s music events in all the land. Meltdown: The River’s Family Music & Book Festival is an all-day immersion in some of the greatest all-ages music, literature and extra-curricular activities known to man. Oh, and it’s […]
