Cool Tunes for Kids by Eric Herman

Eric Herman visited my blog yesterday. Herman runs the Cool Tunes for Kids blog and is a performing musician based in Washington State. He's here in Seattle doing some shows, and I'm hoping to make it to at least one performance with the House of Glee. Um, Eric, you thanked me for posting your video of "The Elephant Song" awhile back. I can't find that post! Still, it's very silly of me that I would have not posted it before now (though I can hardly see you as the one pointing the Finger of Silliness), sooooooo....

Here is a live-action video of Herman juggling produce and going "Crazy Over Vegetables." I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall (or the zucchini) while Herman was filming this video:

Pssst... while you're at it, read some good advice about performing for children.
