FUZZY LOLLIPOP “I LOVE YOU WHEN…” A piano intro made for Broadway, barber shop quartet-style backup vocals, and a swoon-worthy trumpet solo. The musically sophisticated “I Love You When…” from the Hudson Valley, NY quintet Fuzzy Lollipop’s debut album “Sweet!” is reminiscent of Sandra Boynton’s work when put to music. […]

RUDY TRUBITT “WEAR MY PAJAMAS TO SCHOOL” I’ve got this nagging fear. I’m not certain that I had it as a school-age child, but I most certainly have it now involving my school-age child. Every so often – and if you have kids that go to school or a daycare […]

I write a lot about music the whole family can enjoy together, maybe for different reasons, but still all on the same page listening to the same tunes and having an outstanding time…together. The shared experience great all-ages music and media affords is important to me and should be, me […]

Istvan & His Imaginary Band “What’s Mama Doin’” Istvan doesn’t enter into his kid’s music career with trepidation. The Chicago indie rock veteran kicks things off with “What’s Mama Doin’”, an uptempo 93-second giggle fest about the most important people on Earth. My kids can barely appreciate the lyrics because […]

Jamie & Carmen Broza “Waters of March” A daddy/daughter duet is kinda hard for me not to love, especially when there’s a lovely visual presentation to go with it. This one with Broza and his now-tween girl facing each other while singing a gorgeous Jobim bossa as a candle flickers […]
