Cool Tunes for Kids: Kids Make the Darnedest Audience

http://cooltunesforkids.blogspot.com/2006/12/kids-make-darnedest-audience.html

Friday, December 29, 2006. Kids Make the Darnedest Audience. I've already posted about how I got into doing kids' music. And I mentioned in that post that I would write about kids as an audience at some point. Well, I suppose that now is "some point", so here goes. Kids would really perk up and have a big reaction. When I would take a few minutes to play a couple of silly tunes that they were familiar with and focus my attention directly towards them. To Bounce or Not to Bounce. And then a couple weeks l...

Cool Tunes for Kids: The Idea Tree

http://cooltunesforkids.blogspot.com/2006/10/idea-tree.html

Sunday, October 01, 2006. I've always been interested in the different ways that people come up with ideas for songs, films, books, products, etc. Where does the inspiration come from? How does one idea sometimes develop into another? Children's musician Monty Harper has a blog and podcast. About the process of writing his songs, so I thought I'd share a little about some of the different ways that ideas for my songs have come together. If we at least try. Sometimes we'll need to edit that "something...

Cool Tunes for Kids: Didi Pop

http://cooltunesforkids.blogspot.com/2009/08/didi-pop.html

Friday, August 21, 2009. Well, I'll tell you. The closing song on Didi Pop is called "Dream". "Dream" is not just one of the best lullabies I've ever heard, it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, period. This song has actually made me cry while driving down the road listening to it and thinking of how magnificent life really is (yes, more embarrassment if a trucker happens to drive by and see me bawling while listening to a lullaby! You can add me to the list of fans that have been caught ...

Cool Tunes for Kids: Welcome!

http://cooltunesforkids.blogspot.com/2006/07/welcome.html

Sunday, July 02, 2006. Hello, and welcome to the Cool Tunes for Kids blog site. This is meant to highlight some of my favorite kids' music that I've come across since I started creating and performing kids' music a few years ago. I've received several comments much like this one from Sharon Drury in Utah, "Why aren't there more artists like you with awesome music like this for our kids? Of course, the answer is that there are many. And also adding some of my comments about the genre in general and my exp...

Sunday, July 02, 2006. My Rules for Good Kids' Music. 1 - If it's good, it's good. It wasn't meant for me, it was meant for her.

Cool Tunes for Kids: Imagination Movers

http://cooltunesforkids.blogspot.com/2008/09/imagination-movers.html

Tuesday, September 16, 2008. The Mover guys have a lot of charm and do a great job acting and performing on the show, and the show itself exudes the light comic feel of The Monkees. There's not an abundance of humor, but there definitely are some comic moments throughout every show, which automatically jumps it ahead of The Wiggles. The rockabilly-esque "Brainstorm" anthem, the super catchy and bouncy "Jump Up" and the upbeat countrified "7 Days a Week". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Highlighting s...

Cool Tunes for Kids: The Return of the Return of the Son of the Bride of the Idea Tree

http://cooltunesforkids.blogspot.com/2007/05/return-of-return-of-son-of-bride-of.html

Saturday, May 26, 2007. The Return of the Return of the Son of the Bride of the Idea Tree. A few more thoughts to follow up my post from last week. Look for the second right answer. or trust the first. One of my favorite "idea" persons is Roger von Oech of Creative Think. He's penned some really cool creative thinking books with great titles like. A Whack on the Side of the Head. A Kick in the Seat of the Pants. Write what you know" and/or "make stuff up". A Week in the Life. I think Justin Roberts.

Cool Tunes for Kids: Video for "The Tale of the Sun and the Moon"

http://cooltunesforkids.blogspot.com/2008/12/video-for-tale-of-sun-and-moon.html

Wednesday, December 17, 2008. Video for "The Tale of the Sun and the Moon". More new features and interviews are coming soon (Gunnar Madsen, Harmonica Pocket, Dog on Fleas and others), as well as some catching up on CDs released this year by favorites of mine (ScribbleMonster, Eric Ode, Justin Roberts, etc.). But right now, I have to pay the bills, so to speak, by doing some advertising for the main sponsor of this blog (me). I was wondering why they were'nt playing together these days! The film will be ...

Cool Tunes for Kids: Submissions are CLOSED

http://cooltunesforkids.blogspot.com/2008/11/submissions-are-closed.html

Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Eric, would you believe that I have only 2 CDs waiting for review, and I'm struggling for time to sit down and properly focus on them? I think you are wise to close submissions for the blog. I'm looking forward to your next album. I really like your stuff. You have a quick, musical wit and a gift for applying it to the level of kids. The last time our paths crossed I lived in Tampa, FL for a year and saw them in a music store.
