THE LEVIN BUNCH

Well, school is in full swing again. Matt & Nik are having a great time
with new friends in Kindergarten. Matt has already been a field trip, & picked
apples at an orchard. Poor Nik (along with Jonathan) was sick & missed it. But
his bro was so nice in picking him an apple & bringing it home to his ill
twin. Hannah is now a Safety Guard at the school, & we are so proud. We just
wish
she'd stop blowing that blessed whistle. Just kidding. No whistle, but she
sure takes her job seriously. Jonathan (16 months) can reach door knobs &
counters now, & he never misses an opportunity to manipulate whatever he can
grasp.
You should see our cleaning bills.

THE UPCOMING CD

Yosi has been hard at work in the studio with some great musicians. The
upcoming CD, so far, has 11 songs and incredible bass, drums, & guitar. Next
comes vocals, piano, banjo, clarinet, horns, & kids singing. (Not necessarily in
that order.)
This upcoming album has a huge mix of songs in various styles: Ska,
Rockabilly, Blues, Reggae, Rock & more! We are really pleased with the CD's
progress. Let's hope for a December release.

PERFORMANCES
With schools starting September has been rather mellow. But Halloween &
the winter holidays are not far off. That's when things get really busy for
Yosi.
