Ahh…citrus, music, sunshine, sparkling water…it’s refreshing just to say the words. Or in this case, write the words. (I said ’em out loud, too, so I could see how they sound) Do you love the scents of lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit as much as me? I doubt it, but if you do, I suggest you stop reading this and go find some fruit … The rest of the story…
I’m inserting a podcast player so you can play some music for grownups. I call it that because I’ve spent a great deal of my time for the past few years writing music for kids, ebooks for kids, and even articles with bedtime stories for kids. And since I’ve spent the vast majority of my music career writing, playing, and performing music for grownups…I … The rest of the story…
What’s this obsession with the dark side of music? I remember when I was growing up how music was so much about fun and storytelling and sharing reasons to be glad to be alive. Now, there’s just so much darkness to it all. Well, maybe not all…but so much of it that it seems that way sometimes. For instance…I get Google email alerts for … The rest of the story…
If it Ain’t Too Much Trouble Pardon the slang grammar, but I wrote a song back in 1987 called “If It Ain’t Too Much Trouble”. And I just found the typed lyrics I was using for a while when I performed it on stage. I never played it very much, and it wasn’t a particularly popular song of mine…at least no one ever said … The rest of the story…
If you can see a Green Monkey in the video below, you either had too much lime Kool-Aid, or you’re tuned into my wacky imagination and music. A few years back I had CD’s of my personalized music for kids in several Denver, Colorado area kids’ stores. I sold thousands of them and decided to become my own distributor here on the TF website. … The rest of the story…
Kids Need Music And Imagination OK…I’m not tryin’ to say your kid’s life will be completely better because of music. And I’m not sayin’ your kid won’t have trials and tribulations in this life if he only listens to music. But I am sayin’ your kid will have access to the ultimate imagination machine if he or she’s exposed to a good variety of … The rest of the story…
I’m a writer-singer-illustrator…writing for kids …and it’s true. That’s who I am and what I do. (sometimes adults, too) But through my years online I’ve created several identities for myself. I now believe it was all sort of gently nudging me in the direction of where I started out way before there was an internet. But in the early days of my online marketing … The rest of the story…
Which Is Healthier? Fast Food? Or Dancing With Delight? OK…I know it’s a trick question. If your kid is about to faint from hunger, of course “fast food” is healthier than dancing with delight. But still…dancing with delight can’t be too unhealthy. Don’t you think? Why do I bring this up? Well, maybe you heard about the “board of supervisors” in Santa Clara, California … The rest of the story…
Here’s the writer singer news I’ve been working on for a few days now… Have you ever felt schizophrenic in your daily life? I don’t mean like you’re hearing voices or you have 16 personalities like “Sybil”…who was played by Sally Field back in 1976. No, I mean when you find yourself stomping after what you think you should…while tap dancing around what you know … The rest of the story…
A little Valentine’s Day Music, maestro. Hey wait! I have some of that Valentine’s Day Music In My Heart Well, hopefully 10 songs to be more exact. I received a notice from my digital song publishing company that they have a very sweet deal (interpreted as percentage off to do project now) for anyone who would like to release a Valentine’s Day music project. … The rest of the story…
