OH Music: Peter Himmelman's "Curious World" webcast begins Sept. 27th

Part variety show-part dance party Peter Himmelman's weekly webcast for kids Curious World launches this Sunday, September 27th on Land of Nod. Every Sunday morning 11 am Central time through November 29th kids, and their parents, can tune in for a real treat...All of the swankiness of Hugh Hefner's Playboy After Dark minus the sex and bunnies...but he's got a talking tortoise.

According to the press release "In each Curious World webisode, Peter poses the theme of the day (“Friends,” “Animals,” “Sharing,” “Imagination,” “Adventure,” etc.) and reads related questions from kids. Kids in the audience then discuss ideas on the theme. Interspersed through the show are on-the-street visits with a shop owner, a dog walker, surf instructor and other people with expert information. Some of the wittiest scenes are Himmelman’s backyard “Turtle Talk” chats with King Ferdinand, his wise and soulful African leopard tortoise. Himmelman and his band perform the original Curious World theme song along with tunes from his award-winning family music albums. The webisodes were filmed in HD at LA’s legendary Village Recorder studios."

And if you like what you see, and hear, check out his newly released CD My Trampoline.

"With songs about a trampoline, an African leopard tortoise named King Ferdinand, a picky eater named Peter, and the scarcity of kids named Steve, Himmelman mixes his offbeat sense of humor with lush pop stylings and irresistible beats to delight everyone in the minivan. The CD just won a 2009 Gold Award from NAPPA, the national parenting publications association."
