Music With Patrick

The Rock-A-Silly Band once agin brought lots of zany fun to The Staten Island Zoo's Spooktacular event.   Seven hours of playing over two night?   No problem at all!   Bring it on!   

If you've never been to Carl Schurz Park on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, do yourself a favor and go there: they've got great playgrounds, a dedicated group of park volunteers, some wonderful local families and a spectacular view…

The 2016 Westerleigh Folk Festival was beyond-fun, with perfect weather in a beautiful park and lovely families enjoying music, food and an all-around good time.  Glad we were part of it.

The world-renowned Rock-A-Silly Dancers brought the house dow at our recent show at Staten Island's Historic Richmond Town!  Let's just say that "Five Little Moneys" never sounded - or looked - so good!   Great job, little friends.

This artwork is based on a picture from a recent show at the Carousel for All Children on Staten Island.

Thought I'd share this piece of art a child drew during a recent camp show.  (They sure can multi-task!)

The annual Greenbelt show was a rousing success thanks to the huge crowd of happy families we played to and the sunny weather that had us cooling off on the lawn as we dashed through the sprinklers.  talk about fun…

Performing at St. Charles Camp was so much fun with these wonderful young helpers, who played off my goofy, improvisational antics with great skill and without missing a beat.   Hope to play again with them soon!

So excited that the Rock-A-Silly Band's song "Come Play With Me" is now being played on RadioNursery.com.   Click the link to listen to this and many other great songs for children.   Enjoy!

Little-known art history fact: "Man With Frog On Head" was and remains one of Rembrandt's lesser-known works....for good reason.    (Though it does kinda beat looking at self-important Dutch burghers, I think.)
