• 0:09
  Speaker 1: co host. Hello Julie. Hey Monica, this is this is
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: going to be a very fun show. I mean we
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: are so honored today.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, how can you not have fun.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: We've got like runds and you've got those pig you know,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: stuffed animals.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited exactly.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, this is fun. So we're having a superstar,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, superstar of children's music is with us today.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: We couldn't be more honored if we had Barney himself
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: right here sitting in the studio. I mean, this couldn't
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: be any very true. So we are so excited. And
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: actually I'm much more excited. No offense to Barney, but
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I think this interview will be much more interesting. Yeah,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, because I'm not sure how much I can
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: tell you.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So much fun this morning.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: It has been fun because we've been remembering the children's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: songs that our kids. Because our kids are older, they've
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: moved on to other music. But remember what was your
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: favorite song when your kids are a little.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Well, okay, so in my brain that plays over and
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: over because I used to drive to North Carolina all
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: the time. Is Little Einstein and that was you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I have a twenty three year old and an eighteen
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: year old and that plays in my head over and over.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: And we also did music class, and I can honestly
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: say everything that we did when they were children that
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: was absolutely pivotal. It was they still to this day
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: remember it well.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: What I loved was I love that they taught important
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: lessons in some of these songs. So we enjoyed Joe
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: McDermott and he had a song called don't drop a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: brick on your No, don't drop a brick on your foot,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it will hurt. And so my kids learned that lesson.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: They never dropped a brick on their foot. That was great.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But I only wish that he had put a show up,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: put a song out called don't throw a baseball at
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Mommy's head when she's not ready for it yet, that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it would have been really coo.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: That would have been really helpful.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Or my niece who's daughters in cheer, said she'd rather
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: she's like a song that says, yeah, don't do a kick,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: don't practice your headstand in front of Mommy's face. So,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: but there's all kinds of things. The great thing about
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: kids music is there's so much you get out of it,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and there's so many things like my mom, who's eighty
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: seven years old to this day, when she comes to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: visit us, every morning with my mother starts with oh,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: mister son, son, mister golden son, please shun down on me.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And so every morning, I mean, I just sing that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to myself because it's so cheerful. Well, I remember that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And then there's some things about kids music that sticks
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: with you that's kind of a little bit, sometimes a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: little sad and emotional. Like when I was practicing law,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: our recruiting coordinator's son was two. He passed away and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the funeral they played at the end of the funeral,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I Love You from Barney and everybody was in tears.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: All know that song. And so it's like kids music
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is just.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's critical all the way around to
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: have that going on.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So it is so we are so thrilled.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Oh we gotta get rid of this is one.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: This is in honor of our guests.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I got to reach for my peg here, hold on, yes.
• 3:16

  Speaker 1: just excited to hear have you. Have you here with
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: us today. Tell us a little bit about So how
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: did you start playing and singing children's music?
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I actually started because I got a job about a
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: year out of college as a music teacher for preschoolers.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I wasn't the classroom teacher, but I taught all of
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: the classes at the preschool as their music teacher over
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: the course of the week. It was a part time job,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: and I I had done like some music at a
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: camp as a camp counselor. I was the music counselor
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: at a camp up in Vermont, and I had worked
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: at a daycare and I'd done some babysitting, and so
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I thought I could do this. And I was horrible,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Like I was the worst, the worst. I didn't I like,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: had didn't bring in anything that they had fun with.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: They didn't like any of the songs I sang. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: couldn't control anything that was happening in the class, Like
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: the kids just ran all over the room. And then
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: eventually I felt kind of at my wits end, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the person who hired me the head of the school said,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: why don't you go and observe the woman who we
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: had for ten years before you and maybe you can
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: get someone. So I did and she I watched her
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: at the piano, go like, won't you please stand up?
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: You know, and the kids would go, these three year
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: old but everyone, everybody just seemed to be having fun,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: enjoying the music. And afterwards I went up to her
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: and I said, how you're like magical? How did you
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: do that? I don't even know how to speak to
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: these kids. I don't think I speak the same language.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: And she said, you shouldn't be talking, just put it
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: in the music. And that was when I thought, oh, well,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I write songs. Maybe I could just write some songs
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: that tell them what I want them to, you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: encourage them to do with their bodies and how to
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: sing things. And just so I started doing that.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think that the crowd that you had,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: these three year olds, people don't realize that's a lot
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: tougher than you think, right, Like, I mean tough crowd here.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: You got to do, you know, kind of go along
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: and play their game and do that. Do you enjoy
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the writing process or you have audio books, Like, what
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: is your favorite part about being a singer?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's I like a lot of parts of it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I do. I love having written a song sometimes I
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: love actually the writing. It's sort of when I'm in
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: it and it's working, I love it. Not I don't
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: love it so much. And I love being in the studio.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I really feel like that's just such a beautifully artistic
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: place to be. There's so much like audio sculpting that
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: happens in there, and imagination building and world building. So
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I love that. I love doing the shows. I love
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the meet and greets after the shows, Like the performing
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: is really yeah, it's really fun to perform, but it
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: also is so personal and special to actually meet the
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: families and kids who some of them who came to
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the show afterwards and get to hear like what the
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: kid's favorite song is, what some of their experiences are.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Just so I have that connection. I mean, I have
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: a huge connection when we're actually singing together in the
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: space and moving around together. But when I'm getting a
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: little sense of how my music fits into someone's life,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: that is just very beautiful and rewarding for me.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Do you have something that sticks in your head when
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: you talk to a child, have they said anything to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: you that really like digs In? And you're like, ooh,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: that hit you know about one of your songs.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: It's funny. I feel like the very young kids don't.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: They don't talk so much about the songs. It's just
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: this is my favorite song. I want to hear this song.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I want to hear it again. I want to hear
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: it again and again. But then when they get older.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: And I've been doing this for you know, thirty somes
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: long time now, for years now, and I get a
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: lot of messages from people who kids in college, people
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: who are parents now bringing their kids to my shows.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Just a week ago, I was in Indianapolis, and that
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: was like a tongue twister. I should in Indianapolis. Anyway,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I was there and one of the people I met
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: afterwards was their kids were hugging me and seemed, you know,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: so excited to meet me. And the dad was like,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I just want you to know that I grew up
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: on your music, and so this is really really special
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: for me to finally like meet you. And I shared
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: the music with my kids because I loved it so much,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: and now they loved it so much and like those
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: kinds of stories, or a teenager like especially during COVID
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: twenty somethings in college or would write and say, I'm
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: listening to your music because it's the only thing that
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: makes me feel safe right now. And you know it's
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: very moving.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, give them some comfort. It must be great, yeah,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: sharing those family experiences with generations of families. Where do
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you how do you decide what to write about? So
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: when you're deciding to write a kid's song, And I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: noticed when I was when I was doing research for
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: this episode, I saw I listened to your song Waiting
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: for the Elevator, and I thought, I have a personal
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: fear of elevators that I've developed over my years. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: like what But I started looking. There's a lot of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: songs about elevators for kids, and mostly to teach them
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: how to be safe on an elevator. Or there's even one,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I guess there was a Joe McDermott song about I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Got stuck on an elevator, which wasn't very comforting. But
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: so how do you how do you choose? Like do
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you choose it to teach them lessons or are you
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: just trying to convey it's a sunny Day, or you
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: have the song about a pig on your Yeah, how
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: did you decide to write about a pig on your head?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Putting a pig on your britt What inspired you to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: write some of your songs?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Well, a lot of different things, specifically with pig on
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: her head? Was I was. I was a music teacher
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: at the West Side Why in the sixties in New
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: York City, and I would come into the classrooms after
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: the teachers would have the kids all sit on a
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: circle or on the rug and than to like prepare
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: for me to come into the classroom, which meant that
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: I was coming into their space, right, so they would
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: have just been doing something else. So there are a
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: bunch of kids in this one group who had been
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: playing with plastic animals. And one of the kids I
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: still remember his name. This was, you know, more than
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: twenty years ago now, but his name was Marco. So
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: he's an adult now. He Marco wherever you are. He
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: had this little plastic pig and you put it on
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: his head. And when I said, okay, everybody, put your
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: animals away, we're going to start music, and he just
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: like sat there with that thing on his head, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I looked at him, and I was like, Marco has
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: time to put the pig away. Marco's time to put
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: the big away, you know, And and he didn't. So
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I had a choice to make. I was like, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: can I can either be kind of like more aggressively
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: disciplining and say like you have to do that one
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: two three or whatever, like kind of be an authoritarian
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: in that moment, or I can make a song about
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: it and then he can move from there. So I
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: just started singing, Marco has a pig on, is said,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: and said, Marco has a pig on, he said, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: he keeps it there all day like he did when. Yeah,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: the rest of the kids just they were like, I
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: want an animal, and they ran and they got their
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: animal and they sat really like quietly and like attentively
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: waiting for me to sing Monica mouse on her head,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Julie has a tiger on. Then make the sound you
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: know what does it sayink? Pink? And it just I
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: just started doing it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I loved it because I saw your documentary.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Part of the documentary you know, I have you know
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: it And there you are and there's adults sitting in
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: the audience and they're just chilling, and they've got this
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: animal on their head and it's so fun. And I
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: was just like, look at everybody just hanging you know, turtles, monkeys, well.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: And it's it's so interactive because of course you are
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: waiting for your turn, like, hey, I got I gotta
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: pick on my head.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Jimmy would have a sloth on her head, but yeah,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: sloth on your head.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Well that's her favorite stuff to answer.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, I guess.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: That's harder because I don't know what a sloth says. Oh,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: I don't things. I mean I try to make like
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: have fun with that. At my shows, I will ask
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: I usually in the press about the shows, I say,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: bring an animal for your head. And so when the show,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: when we get to that part of the show, I've
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: already talked to the lighting person to bring the lights
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: up so that I can look out and see like
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: who's got a sloth and who's got a giraffe which
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: definitely makes no sound, and who's a narwhal? And so
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I see I see snoopy, I see whatever,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I see Bluey, and and then I try to sing
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: about some of them in the song. So that song
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: is always different at every show.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Well, and you also are challenged to keep up to
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: date with everything happening in kid world because you just
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: mentioned you know, blue and everything, and I hate to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: may I could see blue, I might not recognize it
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: right off the bat. I probably would now, yeah, but
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: originally or there what was that shark? That shark shark song?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know my old baby shark. Oh yeah yeah.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: So I'm just I love that that's what you called it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, Laurie, I'm picking you as my leader, as
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the cool hip grandma that I will be one day.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not going with anyone else.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I love your style and I I love the creative
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: process that you have because I do. I am an
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: empty nester right now and I was dancing in my
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: house this morning and my dogs are like, what's happening?
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: So it's very catchy. And so you see the adults,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, do they come up to you. And you
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: may have some adults that are like, oh my gosh,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: if I hear pig on my head one more time
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: in my car, or that you have it that they
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: love it, love to see their child so happy. I mean,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: is there a meet in the middle kind of thing?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Because like if I drive a thousand and one miles
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: and I hear a little Mermaid go on in my
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: back seat one more time, you know what I mean?
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Do you ever get that from adults?
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, definitely, I don't. They're kind, Yeah, don't. Usually
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: when they meet me, that's not the first thing they'll say.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: But definitely. I have, like in like one hundred comments
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: on a social media post of everybody saying I love
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: the song, this song's abop, I you know this music
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: is was the soundtrack to my kid's childhood. That'll be
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: one person saying no offense. But if I hear you
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: know whatever Victor Vito one more time, I'm gonna blow
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: my brains up.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right right. I think that's natural sometimes with being
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: a parent.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: But for some are so catchy, like I know it,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I know a chicken. I love that song. I could
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: sing that all day. Look so yeah, you get you
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: get kind of excited about it. Well, we would love
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: love love. I'd be amazing, as we say on the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Mom's Club, if you could sing a little for us.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I know your new album is coming out Walking with Penguins,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Is that you're going to be singing a little bit
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: for us here today.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, this is.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: I just happened to have a guitar here.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Today, I happen to have a penguin when I yes,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I'm just gonna say, yeah, it was meant to be today.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna I'll just play you a little bit
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: of it because otherwise it'll probably be too long. But
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: it's yeah, it's called Walking with the Penguins. And I
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: want to say something about it, which is that when
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: I came up with this song, it just responding to
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: your question before about what how do I come up
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: with ideas? This was like, first of all, I get
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: lots of requests from parents and teachers, what can you
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: please write a song about X? And I actually started
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: getting requests for penguin songs because a lot of teachers
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: do like a cold weather unit at school, and they
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: were like, there are no penguin songs? Can you please
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: write a penguin song? Which is I think Raffi has
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: a penguin album out, Penny the Penguin he just brought recently.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: But anyway, so I'm jumping on there. I jumped in
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: there with the penguin song, and I was thinking about
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: it and like, how do I make it, What what
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: do I what's you know? It will be fun? What's interesting?
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: I always like to think from the child's point of view.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: And someone who I work with, Michelle Ash, who actually
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: dances with me a lot of times. She's happy as
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: a dancer as well as often my tour manager, she
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: showed me this picture of in a Basel, Switzerland, they
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: take the penguins out at the zoo and they walk
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: them around the zoo for a walk, and I was like,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: oh my god, walking with the penguins. That would be
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: a really fun song. So so, and one more thing
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: about it, which is like thinking about from the child's
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: point of view, I thought, well, what if it's a kid.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: What if I'm this person singing as a kid at
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: school or somewhere where they have to be sitting and
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: they don't want to be because they're like fidgety and
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: they just want to get up, and they keep imagining
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: they're a penguin and they can't stop themselves from jumping
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: up and walking with the penguins. So that's what this
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: song is about. I'm sitting down, but I feel kind
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: of funny. I shake my dark back and I rub
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: my wife Tommy I try, I stay still, but my
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: body won't listen, and suddenly I'm in up penguin poses
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: with the penguins.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: With the penguins, don't heal you?
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Waa, I don't heal.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: You hip hop the penguins, the penguins don't heal you,
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: heal you, but heal you. We don't want to stop.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna be singing that all day.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: If you ever segue to like, as we're all getting older,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: senior citizen music, maybe you can have one called walking
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: like a Penguin, because I feel like some days I'm
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: more like that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Are you walking with your walker?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, but no, I love that. I love that.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Now I understand.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Did you?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Are you releasing also an them completely in Spanish of
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: your songs? Is that coming out soon?
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: A five song ep? Oh?
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: That's awesome, incredible, right, Because a few years ago I
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: recorded one of my more well known songs, We Are
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: the Dinosaurs, in Spanish.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: I thought that it just was so nice to have
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: something in another language so that more kids and families
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: could listen. I thought it would be really nice to
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: do some other songs, and I had also written a
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: song about the Spanish alphabet or the alphabet in Spanish.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Are you fluent in Spanish?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Not at all.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I took French, but I had I had someone translate
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: them for me, and of course I know what I'm
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: singing when I'm singing those songs. And she she coached
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: me in the studio and she I was like, can
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I is this credible? Like does this seem like I
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: actually can speak Spanish? And she was like yes, So
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: I did it. It was so exciting. I mean, I
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: have taken Spanish lessons as an adult actually because I
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: I can't believe that I don't know how to speak Spanish.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: But they're the same, right, right, But French only gets
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: you so far in so many anyway, so it was exciting. Yeah.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I took French in college and we went to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Napoleon's tomb and we were kind of lost, and so
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I walked up to the guy and I said, oohe
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: la tomb and he said, it's down the road, It's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: down the hall to the right. I mean, it was
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: clear that I didn't know what I was doing. So, yes,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: French is beautiful, but yeah, Spanish would probably be a
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: More Practiceah and I was an our inn in the er.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: It would have been super helpful to be able to
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: speak Spanish.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, do you have.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: A favorite song? I mean, I mean they're probably all
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: your babies, But do you have one that you're like
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you hum in the shower, You're like, I love this song.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: This this kind of like oh mister Son's Son that
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: my mom keeps singing all the time. Is there a favorite?
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're right, that are they are on my babies.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: But I do really enjoy singing Chipmunk at the gas pump.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, stop Lori. I mean, I can't take it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I love that so much. Yeah, I love that so much.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I love it. I'll be listening to that one on
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the way home for sure.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Are there are there any songs that you thought, oh,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big hit with the kids
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: it and it didn't go like you thought? And there
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: are there any of that surprised you, like, oh wait,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that was gonna be so as popular.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Now they're jumping up and down and they're so excited.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and yes, Like I I feel like I'm
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: actually not very good at being able to tell a song.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: It's gonna hit or not, Like I have a one.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I have one called Just like the Sun that I
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: wrote years ago, and I think like once in the
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: twenty five or whatever years that it's been out, somebody
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: has mentioned it to me, and it was like one
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: of my favorite songs. And it was basically like, I
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: went out today and I saw the sun, saw the
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: sun rise open up its size. I saw the sun rise,
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: and then it's I'm just like the sun, and I
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: saw it go to bed, I saw the sun set.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: I saw the sun shine, and I shine like the sun.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: And I like that song made me cry every time
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: I sang it, and like nobody ever mentions it, but
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: I had to have one yoga teacher who was like,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: this one's great with hula hoops.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: So that I'd need to know where everyone's demanding bananas?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Did I say that?
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: Right? Like that?
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, where did that come from?
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: That?
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: Was?
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I mean? Really, the best songs come from things that
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: kids say. I will just put that out there. It's
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: nothing to do with me. Every one's demanding bananas, Well
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: it was, I guess it was the parent, but it
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: was because of the kids. I was working with Cas Berger,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: who is this incredible illustrator who also has a wonderful
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: kid's book.
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: Out actually who I was on a Zoom call with
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: her talking about some illustrations and she has two young kids,
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: and she was like, you know when people walk through
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: the house on zoom and they're like.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, okay, I'll get that for you in a second,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: like trying to have a meeting, and you're trying to
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: have a meeting, and she was like, okay, just hold on.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: She's like, everyone's demanding bananas.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I don't And I was.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Like, oh my god.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's gonna be one of my favorites
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: that's coming out on the album.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Correct, yes, oh yeah. So what are some others that
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: they can look forward to? What are some other titles
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: we should listen to on the new album?
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Another another one that has been doing really well
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: is My Bunny goes Hop, which is a little of
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: like my Bunny goes My money goes Hop Hop? Up,
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: My Money goes Hop Hop?
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: Up?
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Does my gun Bunny go a rough? Rough rough?
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: No.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: That's a lot from those you know, those books that
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: are like my dog is that my dog?
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: No?
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: My dog is fluffy? You know. So yeah, and I
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: had this was actually Michelle's daughter would do that like that,
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: mom My buddy doesn't say rough rough rouff, my bunny
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: doesn't say now now. And so I and her bunny's
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: name was hop and I thought, oh, that would be
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: a really fun song to write. So that's on there.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Onyxy Octopus had a lot of requests for octopus songs.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: These are there are a lot of animal songs, which
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: is always good, and that one's more like some octopus
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: facts because people should know about octopus.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: They should.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So those those are someones that are coming up
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: on that.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Well that but we're looking forward to it as well
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: as some ladies that want to join us and ask
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: you some questions. And those are our zoomer moms. Welcome,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Zoomer moms, Welcome to the Mom's Club. Hello ladies. Well,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to introduce you. Tell us a little bit
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: about yourself, where you're from, and if you have a
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: question for Lori, Lisa, welcome to the Mom's Club.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Lisa wins in here.
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: I'm from an area near Fort Worth, Texas. And Laura,
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: I'm just so inspired with what you're doing with all
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: of your music, and I know that there's a lot
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: of children who think, oh, I want to do that.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: So if a child is interested in.
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: Learning how to play the guitar learning music, at what
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: age would you suggest would be the best age to
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: start introducing them and letting them take.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: That on guitar is I'm just thinking about it because
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: there's some different aspects to it. One is that if
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: you play an acoustic guitar, it's actually kind of painful
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: when you start. You have to build calluses up on
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: your fingers. So I used to teach kids starting around
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: eight years old, and they about half of them would
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: give it up because it hurt. And so one thing
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: to do, you can electric guitars don't really hurt, so
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: if that's okay in your household too quiet, if you're
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: not using a nap. The other thing is if they
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: start on piano, there is a much more visual kind
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: of map of how chords work on a piano, and
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: if you play a little piano first, it's very easy
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: to move to guitar. That's I mean, I played a
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: bunch of instruments. I didn't ever even pick up guitar
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: until I was seventeen, but I had played violin in
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: middle school I had played piano since I was seven.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: I played clarinet, like I had learned a lot of
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: other instruments that made it very easy. And I taught
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: myself guitar when I started. So but I'm not saying
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: you shouldn't do it with young kids. I think absolutely,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: if someone's interested, you want to follow that excitement, right.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: You just don't also want it to die too early
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: if it is they're not like physically ready for the
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: demanding this of it.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: That's a great question.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: That's interesting, you know, and it becomes painful. So they well,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I played the guitar for a year, you did.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I did. I took guitar lessons. I know what she's
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: talking about, the calluses because I was one of those quitters.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I want you to do that.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Really, it's so sad, yeah, I mean, and also even
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: the pick part, like if you're not holding pick, or
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: even if you are, you can get a blister on
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: your finger. Like all of it goes away from practice,
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: but you do have to kind of push through that.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Janine, welcome to the Mom's Club. Tell us a little
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: bit about yourself, and do you have a question for Laurie.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: Absolutely, Hi, I am Janine and I'm from Austin, Texas,
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: and i am the mother of a wonderful daughter and
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: the stepmother to a phenomenal, phenomenal lady who happens to
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: be the mom of our grandsons. And I'm just happy
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: to be here with you. I am coming to my
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: question from my experiences having been an el elementary teacher
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: for many years, and over the years, I've had many
• 29:05
  Speaker 10: students who have had a wide range of special needs.
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: Could be you know, it could be neurological, it could
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: be straight physical, it could be just so many different things,
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: and experiencing music with these kiddos can be similar to anybodies,
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: but then there there are some ways that children respond
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: to music differently. I'm curious as to what maybe some
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: of your experiences have been with children who maybe the
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: approach to music might look a little different, and how
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: you've been able to relate to that.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: I definitely have a lot of fans who are have
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: all different kinds of support needs, and from like very
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: young children to young adults who have been listening to
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: my music since they were little kids and are still
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: huge fans and come to the shows and are Patreon
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: members and like are really like very involved. So and
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: some of them are you know, have a lot of
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: have cannot move parts of their bodies or can't you know,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: can't control them in the same way that somebody else might.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: And and some of it is anyway, so many different things.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: So one of the things that I think about a lot,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: I mean part of it is when I'm singing a
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: song live, I do think a lot about encouraging and
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: talking about different ways that any way that anyone can
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: be get involved with the song, because I do write
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: it's say eighty to ninety percent of my songs to
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: be almost like physically interactive, that like they can do
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: it any way that works for them, you know, if
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: I might be jumping up and down, but like when
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: I'm singing rocket Ship Run and we're blasting off, but
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: I'll always start that song saying if you want to
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: move your head to blast off, or your arms or
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: jump with us, or have someone help you or lift you, like,
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: any way you do it is the right way to
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: do it. So that's one thing that I try to
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: think about and model lots of different ways. Also for
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: people who have sight problems. If I'm doing hand motions,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: I try to say what I'm doing at the same
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: time as actually doing them so that they can imagine
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: it and also participate if they want to. And then
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: in terms of writing songs, I do also try to
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: think about writing songs in ways that are as inclusive
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: as possible, so, you know, and the more that I
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: learn about different needs that people have, the better I
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: can be at writing songs like that. But that's also
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: been a long learning process for me and and kind
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: of an exciting one honestly, because it feels so good
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: to be able to create a song that I know
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: somebody is going to say, like, this song made me
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: feel included.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: You know, that's great and thank you zoomer moms. Those
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: are as always great great questions. So, Laurie, I know
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: you started your career in rock music. Do you do
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: you ever if you could pick an artist in another
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: genre to write with, who would it be and what
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: do you think the sound would what would you be
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: looking for, like a cool kids song or a country
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: song like do you what would that be?
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's so funny. I'm actually collaborating with song
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: right now Who's Who's a rapper? And so that's sort
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: of been interesting. I mean he raps kids music. But
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: also the first person who came to mind just from
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: my like love growing up and of someone who is
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: still really doing amazing things in music is David Byrne,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: just because it's such a broad range kinds of music
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: that he has created, and he's so inventive and also
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: a very I mean, I don't know, I heard some
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: not so great things about some Broadway stuff, but anyway, yeah,
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: and that he's perfect, and I would love to and
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: do something like just I mean, anything that came out
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: of it. It doesn't have to be anything specific. I
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: think when I write, I mean, I have an entire
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: album of dance remixes of my songs that are you know,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: and it's just like been that was so fun to
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: try exploring what it felt like to be in the
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: studio and create music that was outside of me sitting
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: there playing my guitar that basically had nothing to do
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: with a guitar. And so I feel open to just
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: like whatever I would enjoy, you know, I'd be interested
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: to find.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: That, first of all, excellent choice.
• 34:10
