RED HOT MEDIA FOR YOSI IN HOT OFF THE GRIDDLE, THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS, THE
NEW YORK TIMES, TIME OFF MAGAZINE!!

Yosi has been receiving some RED HOT reviews & articles! Check it out:

Summer Issue, HOT OFF THE GRIDDLE
Editor Yvette Cadeaux gives "Under a Big Bright Yellow Umbrella" a great
review!

New Jersey-based Yosi combines high-energy spunk and warm-hearted
sincerity
on an album that places this upstart children's music innovator in front of
the pack. From the frenzied punch of "Hole in the Ground" to the sweetness
and serenity of "Me & My Balloon" (featuring Deb Lyons on vocals), Yosi is
hard to classify and easy to love.

There's reggae, there's world beat, there's even the "Stinky Blues." This is
what the blues were meant to be: a down and dirty meditation on a pair of
old, dank shoes. Train-addicted tots will eagerly listen to Yosi's "Train
Medley," one of the few tracks on the album that's not an original
composition. But even here Yosi gives it his own stamp by creating a unique
amalgamation of choo-choo classics.

Move over Raffi: There's a new kids' musician on the block, and his name is
Yosi!

Tuesday, June 22, THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS
Family Entertainment columnist Nancy Churnin suggests "Under a Big Bright
Yellow Umbrella" for summer fun.

Summertime, and the listening's easy. Yes, in every family, there comes a
time to turn off the car TV, look at the scenery and croon along with the
kids. Here's some music to soothe the wild child …
If the kids need a little vigorous wiggling, Yosi will get them pretending to
be a worm in Under a Big Bright Yellow Umbrella!

Friday, July 9, TIME OFF MAGAZINE (special insert for all Packet
Publications, Princeton area, New Jersey)
Reporter Susan Van Dongen chats with Yosi and reviews "Under a Big Bright
Yellow Umbrella."

Sunday, July 11, THE NEW YORK TIMES
Columnist Tammy La Gorce profiles Yosi in the weekly "By the Way" column.

We'll keep you posted as more reviews & stories come in.

THE LEVIN BUNCH
Summertime has not been kind in the Levin household. We started off the
season with Jon (2 y.o.) having hand-foot-mouth disease. This conditioned
morphed itself into Herpengina (contagious throat soars) in Hannah, Matt & Nik.
As if that wasn't unkind enough, Hannah slipped in a plastic outdoor pool
two weeks ago & broke her leg (lower tibia). The pain was awful, & she said
she actually heard a "snap!" OUCH!!! Now she has a full length leg cast for
eight weeks. This puts so much more than a damper on her usual summer swimming
activities. However, Mama & Papa Levin are keeping our girl busy with crafts,
books & outings in the wheelchair.

The Levin kids finished school, & all brought home excellent grades. We
are so proud!
We are looking forward to some good BBQ's this weekend. Enjoy!
