I guess I should mention that I have a cd of music for children..and I titled it "Moon Food".
Why, you ask? I wanted to capture the feeling of magic and moondust, and of food, nutrition for the mind and imagination. There are pirates and mermaids, rainbows, and
baby kitties that grow very large and fat. There is a tooth fairy song and a song about tarzan in the jungle. There is a vacuum cleaner named Vance who is allergic to dust..(performed by Dick Van Dyke). I started out as an adult musician. But I found a whole new freedom in writing for kids. Instead of talking about love affairs gone wrong, I could talk about anything. I could be silly, or be a character. Kids are so smart. They get a lot of nuances that we don't expect. They learn a lot with humor. And they make me laugh.
