Parents from far and near would buy those songs on little pieces of round plastic called CD’s. And their kids loved ’em. The songwriter sang lots of sing along songs, personalized songs, … The rest of the story…

Memories of the Windy Saddle I remember, almost eight years ago, Elgielene and I had lunch in a little downtown spot in Golden, Colorado. It was called the Windy Saddle Cafe. Small town atmosphere, fresh made food, and good coffee. As we waited for our food, that first time, we checked out the place. It even had a place in the back where small … The rest of the story…
I’ve enjoyed writing music for kids Kids give enthusiastic response when they hear music they like. Some will even flip their lids. For those of you who can’t remember far enough back, that means they go crazy. Metaphorically speaking. And that’s part of why I spent so much time writing music for kids. Even though my wife and I never had any, for some … The rest of the story…
Don’t do these things “Don’t” is a book with a list of things not to do. The funny thing is…you can’t do these things. Even if you wanted to. There’s also a song about it (which you can hear in the The Power of God’s Love Podcast version of this post) and an illustrated downloadable version. “Don’t make mistakes unless you’re wrong.” A few years ago I … The rest of the story…
Wait till morning skies Bedtime Buckaroos Morning skies, or as they say down south, “mornin’ skies”, are a sign of a brand new day. And they’re also part of the subject of the third one of Tony’s books for kids…”Till Mornin’ Skies” It’s one of the “Bedtime Buckaroos” bedtime stories. And it’s also one of the songs off the lullabies collection by the same … The rest of the story…
When you ask Jesus to love and protect you…you are never all alone…ever again. Does that sound good? I hope so. Because it’s not good to be all alone. And for little ones, it can be scary. Just imagine if you walked all around the world and never saw anybody. What if you were the only person on earth? Kinda spooky to think about … 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’ve always enjoyed kiddin around with kids. And they seem to get a kick out of it, too. That’s why I wrote a whole CD of zany funtime music for kids and called it “Kiddin Around“. It starts out with a song called “Don’t”. How many times have you heard one kid telling another one that? Or how many times did YOU have … The rest of the story…
In Your Dreams
You’ve probably heard someone say “in your dreams” when they think someone else has exaggerated something. Well, when I started writing the first song in my jazzy collection of lullaby songs “Lullabye Bye”, I wasn’t thinking of that expression at all…at least not for that reason. I’ve never had any kids, and some people might think that it would be odd for a childless … The rest of the story…
