Hi again family, friends & fans!
It seems we missed the January Newsletter, & it's all the fault of the
DooDads (which you'll be reading about shortly below). However, we wish you a
belated HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
THE LEVIN BUNCH
The Levin kids had a wonderful holiday season, & got lots of fun crafts &
toys. Matt & Niks' favorite is "Illustory" where they get to write,
illustrate & publish their own story. They really took to it with zeal! Hannah
has been
busying herself with making bracelets that look quite professional for ladies
& young girls. She may be bringing them to the Yosi shows in the very near
future to sell. Jonathan has been very much engaged in Dinosaur activities! Just
picture a 2-and-a-half year old stomping & roaring through the house with all
the fury of a T-Rex. That's what he does most of his day, when he isn't
perfecting his somersaults (which are surprisingly very good). He calls himself
a
"Dinah Shore." Sorry, Dinah.
Oh, report cards are in & we couldn't be more proud. Excuse our gushing,
but Hannah has earned straight A's, & Matt & Nik have earned straight S's (S
for Satisfactory...that's A's for 1st graders.) But, more than grades, we are
getting glowing remarks from their teachers about their enthusiasm, helpfulness
& positive attitudes. (Now, if those teachers could only see them at
home...Ha! ...kidding, of course.)
DOODADS...WHAT ARE THEY?
You know those things around the house or the garage that you can't
recall the name of. Those ..."doodads" that ...do things. They come in handy.
Right?
Well, we want to introduce you to THE DooDads:
Yosi has finally formed a band!
A ROCKIN' band called: Yosi & The DooDads
Starting this late spring & summer you'll be able to catch Yosi with his
band perform a Rockin' Family Concert at various venues. It's an hour long
show featuring many of Yosi's original tunes & some classic kid favorites...but
with a Rock 'n Roll band the whole family will love!
Yosi will be playing guitar & singing. He'll be accompanied by The
DooDads: Joe Geisler on Bass & backup vocals, & Scott Lewis on Drums, backup
vocals
& sound effects. Joe & Scott are dynamic musicians, great with kids & have a
wonderful sense of humor. Oh, and did I mention, they are actual dads!
So, if you thought Yosi's shows were great wait till you get a chance to
rock out to this band!
See the Concert Calendar below for the two upcoming shows. There will be
more shows with Yosi & The DooDads, so keep checking the updated concert
calendar on Yosi's site: http://www.yosimusic.com/concerts.html
TSUNAMI VICTIM RELIEF
We are very saddened by the horrible tragedy that has befallen the
Tsunami victims. We have made our monetary contribution to a reputable charity,
& if
you wish to do the same here's a clip from CNN with a list of reputable
charities.
(CNN) Aid groups accepting donations for victims -- International aid
organizations are accepting donations to help victims of the powerful earthquake
and
resulting tsunamis that caused widespread destruction in parts of South Asia
and East Africa.
Send to your preferred charity that has joined in the international relief
efforts. Here's the CNN site with all the participating charities:

Also, Yosi has been asked to donate a concert in March to raise funds for
the disaster relief. The event is currently being organized & we'll keep you
posted on developments.
