Yo Gabba Gabba

It's like Bootsy Collins meets the Muppets. Yo Gabba Gabba is a fantastical musical show for kids. Join DJ Lance Rock and his monster friends: Brobee, Foofa, Muno, Plex, and Toodee.

Three is the Magic Number

There are a ton of great resources online for a Schoolhouse Rock nostalgia fix. You can read the lyrics, see the official site or dive into the history.

I like to compare the original songs to more recent remakes. For instance, check out these two versions below, first the original, then the remake.

Our Family Friendly Digital Media

Sometimes I hook my laptop up to our home LCD TV and I watch videos and play games with my kids. One thing we’ve noticed is that it is often a challenge to locate appropriate music videos for the whole family. An innocent search for "Oh Suzanna" on YouTube.com might display a frat boy fart contest. We've been saving links to good videos on a new website we slapped together called FamilyMusic.tv.

Lately, rather than searching the web, we’ve been producing our own family-friendly digital creations. It is true that one of the drivers of user generated content has been users not finding what they want, so they create it themselves. Below is a sampling of our latest experiments. These were all created using consumer tools in our home. So, ah.. watch out!

The Mystery of Lazy Hill Farm
A music video made using toys and art supplies found around the house. The song was written by me and brilliantly brought to life by Ray, Zack and me at Andrew’s home studio.


The Camptown Ladies
A classic old tune spiced up by The Family Music Party Experience. Zack, Ray, and Todd played on this. Andrew engineered and produced.


Little Boxes
Written and recorded originally by Malvina Reynolds in 1962. I recorded it at Poolhaus Studios in Burbank, CA. I played all the instruments and sang all the vocals.


Faces on My Money
The kids and I tried to record a song and shoot and edit a music video in 4 hours or less...and it shows! I wrote the lyrics and part of a song and Ray supplied the better part of the melody and some real chords.

Video: Land of the Lost

Rock out to the opening theme song to Land of the Lost.

The Muppets Sing Danny Boy

Kermit introduces the Swedish Chef, Animal and Beaker as The Leprechaun Brothers. This trio is a great pairing of talent.
