One of Brooklyn’s many great kid’s music performers, Dan Zane’s has taken the "ugh" out of kid’s music. He, along with David Weinstone, Randy Kaplan, Piera Moinester, Mr. McGarry, Mr. Bill, and others, are giving kids a great start with song. We parents thank them all. Found this on Brooklyn Topix – it was in the Albany Sun Times:
Ex-rock ‘n’ roller Dan Zanes (the Del Fuegos) has forgone the usual
route of post-career bankruptcy, addiction and obscurity by smoothly
segueing into children’s music, and the world is a better place for it.Often, children’s music is dumbed down and goofy. Zanes
takes the novel approach that just maybe, the kids are smart and have
good taste, and goes from there with great success.At
The Egg in Albany, Zanes and friends had a sold-out house of little and
big people as a bustling crowd of youngsters bounced around the
orchestra pit and never stopped.In a bright red suit and somewhat unruly skyward-pointing Don King
hair, Zanes came out by himself. "So today," he says, "I was thinking
we could have a wild party here."And it was.
