parents’ choice gold award winner, includes “house party time” as seen on playhouse disney
house party is the most far-reaching and sonically diverse of the dan zanes and friends cds. it's the sound of a musical winter gathering that just wouldn't end. friends kept dropping in and with them come songs, instruments, and a readiness to hang around. this hour long cd, our fourth, is filled to the brim with dance songs, sing along songs, funny songs, emotional songs, and others that may be stuck in your head for days at a time (as they were in mine).

parents’ choice gold award winner, includes “smile, smile, smile” as seen on playhouse disney
"night time!" is a celebration of the mysterious hours between dusk and dawn. this isn't what you would call a lullaby record (note the exclamation point) but when the dance party is over and it's cool down time, this mostly acoustic cd of handmade songs for the all-ages underground will fill the air with lyrical, organic, sounds and songs.
