"These food songs are the BEST

I've ever heard and a great way to

excite kids about healthy eating!"

Barbara Storper MS, RD,

Director, Foodplay


“Thank you, Jay! This is just what I

was looking for! I look forward to

using your new CD in my preschool

and elementary nutrition

classes. Your messages are great,

and lyrics are clear and simple

enough so that I can teach them

to the kids!”

Ferguson Library, Stamford, CT

I just wanted to thank you for the great show you put on for us on Saturday. The group may have been small, but the feeling was intimate and cozy, and we all definitely had a good time. About an hour after the show, I even had a mom call me and tell me how much fun she and her kids had. It was great working with the both of you, and maybe we'll be able to do it again soon! - Elizabeth Buono, Children's Librarian

Deauville Gardens, Copiague

Jay and Katy covered all the December holidays very well. The songs and stories all had a positive outcome. The children's attention was totally on the show. - BOCES Evaluation

The songs were uplifting to both the children as well as the adults. The children also liked seeing their teachers participate. - BOCES Evaluation

Just a note to let you know how much the children and teachers of PS 33 enjoyed your show. It was truly a professional endeavor and reflected the values we hope all children aspire to.

The songs were nice -- I like how a Hebrew song was included, and The Twelve Days of Recess song was very fun! - Andrea Ferrara, 1st grade

Wonderful! - Patti Svraka, 2nd grade

The children love to sing and act out all of the hand movements and signs. It is a pleasure to see them have so much fun! -Susan McLoughlin, 3rd grade

Summer Reading Concerts

This past summer Jay performed 65 concerts in MA, NH, RI, NJ, CT, and NY. 

Now is a great time to plan for the summer of 2009! A new show, or an old favorite will be sure to fit your own summer reading theme. As usual, all shows are toured in Jay's veggie-powered van, the Veggie Voyager, and include a post-concert demo.

Books in Space is brand new, especially for Massachusetts libraries, and features songs, stories, and costumed characters traveling through time and space.

Eat Like A Rainbow is dressed up for New Hampshire's 2009 theme with the subtitle- 'Summertime, and the Eating is Easy!' 

The Day The Library Went Wild is still Jay's most popular summer show. In 2009, it will feature a special focus on the music of nature - and our own natural creativity.
