Kid and adult performer, Randy Kaplan, is taking a break from the Slope in La La Land. Here’s a missive he sent this morning:

I’m out here in Los Angeles, working and writing and getting ready to release two records, Ancient Ruins & Loquat Rooftop in January (I know, I promised them by the holidays but things always take longer than promised). You can hear two songs from each of the CDs, though, on my two MySpace pages – my regular page and my kids’ page respectively!

And if you’re wracked with confusion about what to buy your niece, nephew, kid, grandkid, babysittee, or anyone else for that matter for Christmas (or if you’ve been remiss and are considering a belated Hannukah offering) why not pick up a copy of my critically acclaimed first kids’ record 5¢ Piece right here? There’s still time!

Also, peruse my newly renovated website if you get a chance. Check the schedule of live shows for details about my February Los Angeles concerts and my April New York kids’ extravaganzas. More shows for both children and grown-ups in both locales will be posted soon.

Enjoy the waning days of December and I’ll see you in Ought-Eight. And why not forward my newsletters to everyone you know?

Thanks, Randy
