The 2nd new song & live video pairing from the Pacific NW kid’s music collaborative effort known as Kindiependent has hit the interwebs. The 1st included Recess Monkey, Harmonica Pocket and Caspar Babypants. Sub out Caspar for Bregar (Johnny) and wham – another gem! This time about Holiday meals, elusive […]
