PPR #19- Caspar Babypants, The "Edible" Episode
Series: Pied Piper Radio
From: Pied Piper Radio
Length: 00:59:00
We hope you're feeling hungry because Pied Piper Radio is about to serve up a hearty helping of food songs. From beans to olives to soup, this episode is a musical buffet.
Our featured album is "This is Fun!" by Caspar Babypants. Grown up listeners might recognize Caspar Babypants as Chris Ballew, frontman of the rock band The Presidents of the United States of America. We think kids and grown ups alike will agree that "This is Fun!" is just that.
We also have new music from Elizabeth Mitchell and Aaron Joseph, and recent work from Dean Jones- featuring The Felice Brothers.
