    Who needs a ball and a hoop for March Madness? It’s time to break out your brackets kindie style, with the 2011 KidVid Tournament! What’s a KidVid Tournament, you ask?

    Debbie and Friends – Story Songs and Sing Alongs (2007, Debbie Cavalier Music) purchase this album (CD Baby) As any parent of a young child (or, God forbid, multiple young children) can tell you between exhausted sobbing fits, the kids are the bosses of the house. It’s a dirty secret that “grown-up” artists like They Might Be Giants and Barenaked Ladies have just started figuring out — no doubt partly thanks to having kids of their own — but the brave men and women who have committed their careers to making music for tots have known it for years; in fact, they rely on it to make a living.
