  • Sneak peek of fun new New Orleans kids music!

    On Feb. 12, I was a guest on WHIV 102.3 FM New Orleans, the newly launched community radio station for our fair city. Andrew Ward, the dynamic station manager, interviewed me about Confetti Park projects, including the children’s choir and our upcoming CD, “We’re Going to Confetti Park.” Listen

    We’ve been working with Matt Aguiluz at Marigny Recording Studio to create a whimsical, magical CD of original children’s songs inspired by life in Louisiana. The CD features a chorus of children singing about pirates, frogs, snoballs, and Candy Land balls along with a star-studded lineup of musicians (Johnny Vidacovich, Jon-Erik Kellso, Evan Christopher, Matt Perrine, Patti Adams, Beth Patterson, Tom McDermott, Roger Lewis, James G. Thornton, Greg Schatz, David Rosser, Rick G. Nelson, Brian Coogan, Tim Robertson, Sarah Quintana, and more).

  • A song for Santi – “Dream Big, Little Santi”

    A song for Santi – “Dream Big, Little Santi”

    A song, and another Kirkus honor, for The Little Mouse Santi!

    Today’s the day! Jan. 15, 2015, the official publication date of The Little Mouse Santi! To celebrate, we are releasing a song called “Dream Big, Little Santi,” composed by author David Ray and Kathryn Hobgood Ray. The song is performed by Kathryn (vocals and mellotron) and Tim Robertson (guitar). It was produced by Matt Aguiluz at Marigny Recording Studios in New Orleans.

    As for Louis Ray, his favorite line from the song is: “Elephants and dancing bears are filling up my eyes.” He helped his parents settle on word choice, particularly for this line.

    You can download the single through Amazon, iTunes, or CDBaby. It will also be featured on the upcoming “Confetti Park Players” CD hopefully out in April 2015!

    Also, we’ve just learned that the Kirkus starred review for The Little Mouse Santi will be featured in the 1/15 print issue of Kirkus Reviews magazine. This is a great honor! Less than 10% of all indie reviews are selected. We are absolutely thrilled.

    Dream big, everyone!
