THE LEVIN BUNCH

It's BACK TO SCHOOL time again! Have you had an enjoyable summer? Are
you ready to get back to your classrooms & teachers? I know most parents are.
Fortunately, most of Yosi's fans are very excited about school. They are
between the ages of 2 & 8. So, school is much more fun than work. And even
school
work is, well, fun.
Around the Levin home, we have some excitement. Mama Levin is making our
traditional School Bus Cake for the first day of school. Nik & Matt will
start first grade. Hannah will be in sixth! (Where has the time gone?) Next
year
she'll be done with elementary school. Yikes! Jonathan will spend time at
the best school ever: Mommy.
We had a delicious time in late August on our trip to Hershey Park,
Chocolate World, & other attractions around Hershey, PA. There were great
rides,
a walk through a children's garden, a nearby underground cavern tour, a
butterfly & caterpillar house (a fave), & of course, lots of chocolate. It's a
great vacation. Check out the site: _http://www.hersheyschocolateworld.com/_

Yosi's gearing up for some studio recording time again. Yup, there's a
new CD being planned. Now, don't hold your breath. This one might take a year
to complete. AND: Mums the word about the concept of the next CD. We'll just
say it's VERY ambitious, & as things develop we'll be sure to let you know.


Have you seen the latest press? Yosi's UMBRELLA CD is honored to be in
the

PARENTING magazine, Sept. 2004 issue. With a PIC of the CD cover, no less!
Here's the CD review:

UNDER A BIG BRIGHT YELLOW UMBRELLA
Yosi ($15 CD, Yosi Music, _www.YosiMusic.com_ (http://www.yosimusic.com/) )
Yosi: A lovely way to enjoy a rainy day.
A dozen high-energy songs about such eclectic topics as selling salt in
the Sahara, stinky feet, and more make up this original collection. With
wisdom fit just for kids: "Cheese forms in between your toes/Leaches grow in a
garden hose."

Also: On August 18th a New York Daily News article ("Youth Music Stops
Kidding Around") mentioned Yosi as a “budding performer” amongst other
great
children's recording artists, such as: Dan Zanes, Jessica Harper & Ralph's
World. This article has been reprinted in newspapers in three other states:
Ohio, Texas & Alaska.
