Have you met Dan Zanes?


I've recently discovered this musician. Folk music sort of aimed at children, but totally ear-friendly for everyone in the house. He was once the lead singer of the Del Fuegos--pretty well known in the 80's. Then he had kids, started hanging out with other parents, and decided to record some music that wasn't for kids, and wasn't for adults, but was music the whole family could enjoy together. His new band, Dan Zanes and Friends, has recorded Rocket Ship Beach, Family Dance, Night Time!, House Party, and the new (pictured here) Catch that Train! Here's a link to a YouTube video of Dan Zanes' song "Jump Up." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPhEIkChNE8 Good stuff! I think I'll be posting more about this guy....
