I know this is in danger of veering off topic...but...I love Dan Zanes, too. Father Goose is an absolute hoot! A great way to explore rhymes and stories. The Rocketship Beach, Dance Party and Night Time albums definitley had an effect on my daughter's love of words and wordplay. His stuff is not so available in Australia, via amazon only, so I will probably never see the band play live. They are hardly known at all here. But hours of joy have had with Bushel and a Peck, All Around the Kitchen, Eerie Canal, ABC, and some classics of the American songbook. Songs for children that won't drive parents nuts. Oh, and sorry about The Wiggles.
