This is the first single from Paul's new CD, Memory Almost Full. The song is kid friendly and it has a very Dan Zanes-ish vibe to it, I think. Simple, and folky with an inclusive sort of dance and sing along vibe. The video is very intriguing. It takes a view or two before you catch everything that's going on. Evalyn really enjoyed it and wanted to watch twice in a row. I've had fun hearing her take on what's happening.
Although the new CD is not a kids' album, I've always thought Paul should do one. He put out DVD collection of children's animation that he made a couple of years ago, which is very cool. And many of his songs, from "Yellow Submarine" to "Tropic Island Hum" are actually meant for kids, and those songs are some of his best. Paul, are you reading this? When you get around to doing a children's CD, give me a ring. I'd love to help out!

Just thought I'd add this - today I heard Paul talking about his new CD on XM Radio. He said that this song was born out of messing about on a mandolin, and that his three year old daughter would come in and dance around while he was playing it. This inspired him to complete the song and record it. So you see, it IS a kids' song!
