 We played at the library in Tehachapi last Wednesday. What a great group of seriously well behaved kids (and adults too, i might add) We were truly impressed.  Kris, from the library staff, tells us that they can draw up to 250 people for their Wednesday afternoon shows. Afterwards, we went to old town pizza for dinner (yum) and had a grand time . We cannot wait to go back. We posted some pictures in the scrapbook area of rb.com. btw - we're playing at the southwest branch in Bakersfield in July and can only hope for a repeat of this day. ---- olen (mr.oscat)

hello everyone.... are you looking for an alternative to the kids music that is made by purple dinosaurs or wiggly guys from australia (not that there is anything wrong with either) ... here are a couple of really good resources for alt-kids music that you may find useful... all three of these folks blog sites have music shows that change weekly and include songs that cross age and genre bases (does that make sense?), don't just rely on the same kids songs that the television has deemed for us as being kid-worthy (although i find "jacks big music show" guests really good)...and... (semi-shameless plug alert)... they all three play "mr.oscat" on occasion....
