It's funny, because the video starts kinda slow and then out of nowhere they are all sawin' down on their instruments. I hope my young'un takes an interest in music. Check it out!
March 14, 2012 Just took a few days off and my wife and I made a trip to Las Vegas. She'd never been there before and after the flight there, I didn't think she'd ever go back. Somebody had a couple children on the plane who were just little tyrants.

March 2, 2012 Before I break off into my terrible rendition of the rap song "It's Ya Birthday", let me remind you that today is Dr. Seuss birthday! It's also my mother in law, Suzanne Craig's birthday, but she doesn't have a really cool hat and actually likes green eggs and ham, so the nation will be celebrating Dr. Seuss instead. Numbers of us "disc jockeys" are out reading to school kids this morning and even adults are dressed up like "Thing 1" and "Thing 2". So, in honor of Theodor Seuss Geisel’s birth, we've dug up 15 facts about the self-proclaimed doctor that you might not know.
