I caught some live music today: Rocknoceros, a band that has recently “dominated the Washington, DC children’s music scene.” Guitar player was decent – on one number, he did the routine where you sing along with your solo, only he did it with a kazoo. Sounded awesome, seriously.

I’m sure loads has been written on this, but I bet it isn’t easy for musicians to transition into the kiddo music scene. I seem to remember Dan Zanes saying one reason he he did it because he was sick of singing songs about old girlfriends.

Also, I guess I’d rather play a packed synagogue full of screaming fans on a Sunday morning than a half empty, smoky ass bar at 11pm.

Anyway, here’s a clip of Rocknoceros doing a song about a purple turtle.
