We were in Now! Magazine proving once again that media is incapable of writing about urban parents without being snide. Having said that, we 98 percent really like this article and appreciate the coverage. However, we caution the twenty-somethings who often write these articles about us “aging hipsters” (le sigh): you too shall walk this path at some point and then you will be glad there is good music for families.

We find out what it takes to be a hit with the preschool set
How did you get into the Kindie music scene?
I vowed never to make a kids’ music CD. I do adult music, well, I guess that’s just called music, and I’d been doing that for a long time. I have two little girls and over the years I just wrote a bunch of songs for them. At the beginning of 2009, I ended up a whole pile of songs that I’d written for them. Just as a goof, I just decided to make a record of them and I made that thinking I would sell it to preschools or at events. Then it quickly got picked up by Sirius XM satellite radio and National Public Radio. Within about two weeks they’d called up to ask about it. So I decided that I should actually pursue this.
