So in the process of kindasorta putting together a music curric for the boys, I use a lot of online resources (i.e., favorite tv show websites).... while sifting through various Electric Company clips on zee youtubes, I stumble upon this kid with the voice of Stevie Wonder. And his name is Arthur. Apparently he's the 4th of a long line of Arthurs? I can only infer as much from his website name.
But that's not why you called. You need to hear this kid.
Here's a free taste:

He makes Michael Buble sound like he's chewing ice cubes.
Once you wet your whistle, you can download the mini-album from his site for $5. For price of a footlong that will last you 3 minutes, you can own some really intelligent, creative music and bebop to it for the rest of your freaking life.
I might have to use his One Mo'gin youtube video to put on a piano clinic for the kiddos. Right after they finish their beatboxing lesson...

Aww thanks Shannon! I am, in fact, the 4th in a long line. And it warms my heart considerably to be called a kid. :)
If you don't mind, I'd like to use that Michael Buble quote on my Myspace page.
Your music curriculum sounds fascinating. You teach your kids music via Electric Company clips?!
Hi Arthur, nice of you to stop by! Quote away, by all means. :) We look forward to your new material.
We use EC/Muppets to teach nearly everything, but we find it esp helpful in music. Reciprocally, once they can sing, they can remember anything. ;)
