It’s a blast writing kids music because I can let my imagination run wild, and they love it. Take the video, below, for instance. It’s a tune called “Stop Buggin’ Me”, and it shows bugs and creepy, crawly things, and kids love to hear it. How funny.
If you’ve ever heard your kids, or someone else’s kids, or if you ever heard yourself when you were a kid say “stop buggin’ me”, then watch this video and see if you can relate. The song is on the “Kiddin’ Around” CD.

On another “note”…the lullabye CD is shaping up nicely with about half the tunes done, now. Thanks to everyone who contributed ideas and encouragement. Keep up the good work. As I mentioned in my last post, “The Peppermint Pony” is complete. I even added a couple of tracks just for my own fulfillment, and I think you’re gonna enjoy it. I’ll also have a tune called “Ditty”. It’s an instrumental that may remind you of the wind-up teddy bears, if you’re old enough to remember those.
And there’ll be around 8 more, so I won’t go into ‘em yet. Just watch for the announcement, and tell me to hurry up.
Well, maybe not “demand”, but I just finished recording another lullabye for the upcoming CD of sleepy time tunes for kids. You may recall the lyric contest recently, and a few writers contributed to the song “The Peppermint Pony”. It’s officially now a tune going on this next CD. Initial reviews give it multiple “thumbs up”.
There’ll be about 10 new tunes on the CD, and each one is specially designed to rock-a-bye your kid. I’ll let you know when it’s available.
Whether you’re a new mom (or dad) or you have a few little kids around the house you probably really appreciate the “down” time. You know…the time when the little “angel” falls asleep, and you can just be an adult and enjoy the peace and quiet. Right?
Well, what makes your little “sunbeam” flicker out and drift off to DreamTown?
What takes your tyke to Snoozeland?
And if you could suggest to a songwriter an idea for a lullabye…what would it be?
Here’s the place and the songwriter. Ton-O-Fun Tunes is adding a lullabye CD to the collection very soon. I’ve written a few new lullabyes, and I need to add a few more, so comment below or email me any ideas you’d like to hear put to music. This new kids music will be soft and melodic so little kids, infants, and toddlers will relax, calm down, and fall asleep when you want them to.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks for your support.
Stay tuned,
P.S. Be sure and get the “In This World” CD…what are you waiting for? These tunes for kids are actually good for the whole family. Your kids will love ‘em.
Usually the saying goes “kids grow up so fast”. But I’ve found some disturbing information showing how we adults contribute to kids growing up TOO fast. And the health problems associated with it are serious. In fact, little girls are reaching puberty at 6, 7, and 8. Some girls as young as 2 have shown signs of sexual development.
This rapid paced maturing also increases their risk of breast cancer later on. And similar problems are found to be true for little boys.
What’s causing this? Is it drugs? Lawn chemicals? Global warming?
Get this…it’s your tap water.
Yep…if your municipal water is typical, it contains flouride. And we need to ask why the active toxin in rat poison and roach powder is systematically being added to our drinking water. Flouride negatively affects every vital organ and system in our bodies. Scientists have known this since as far back as 1936. Your flouridated toothpaste carries warning labels not to swallow it, yet the tiny amount of flouride you shouldn’t swallow in toothpaste can be found in a normal glass of water.
What’s up with that?
Don’t take my word for it. Watch this video of a dentist with 30 years experience talk about it and show you what I mean.
Stay tuned,
P.S. I hope this information helps you take control of your health and the health of your kids. Now, in the meantime, take your mind off the problem with some kids music. They’ll really get a kick out of ‘em, and you can enjoy them just being kids for just a little while longer. We’re only In This World together for a short while.
And subscribe to Kids Music Notes to stay updated on the latest. A lullabye CD is in the works, and you’ll be one of the first to know when it’s available.
But they can get “hypnotized by their mother’s purse…so there’s the reality.
OK…I’m just taking some lyrics from one of my tunes for kids called “Keepin’ It Real”. Still…it’s true, right? And Liz McCormack, a teacher at Maranatha Christian Center in Arvada, Colorado, had some of her little people dancin’ and keepin’ it real. I can’t share the video here any longer due to school policies, but I’ll get some more cool stuff to replace it.
More Video Proof Of Little People Enjoying Our Tunes For Kids
Last fall (2008) Maranatha Christian Center’s Liz McCormack decided to take several of my tunes from the “Kiddin Around” CD and choreograph them for her little pre-schoolers and students. She did a great job working with an age group not known for its attention span.
I was invited to watch the results, and I took my video camera and captured it to share here. I’m sure you’d get a kick out of it…little people dancing to “The Belly Song”, but unfortunately due to school policies I can’t show it anymore. I’ll be sure to get some other cool stuff, though. So watch for it.
Stay tuned,
P.S. We could use your support as we continue to grow our humble little business of kids music. So, if you like what you see, browse our store and see if there’s a CD for a special kid waiting for you. And even if you don’t see your kid’s name, you can still special order one. Thanks!
