THE LEVIN GANG

You know you're blessed when you've got all four healthy kids with
different passions! Nik (9) has been collecting, naming & reading about bugs to
no
end. He's impressed a neighbor recently by correctly identifying the tree
grubs the man has found while chopping wood. Jonathan (3) started preschool
(special speech program) & is delighted with his teacher & new friends. He also
has just had his first dental exam & absolutely loved all the attention
bestowed upon him & his teeth. Speaking of teeth, Matt (9) had a palate
expander
put in at the Orthodontist thus rendering him with temporary slurred speech.
So much for four years of speech lessons! Hannah (12), along with Matt & Nik
have been making clay figures & plan on making a claymation movie. They are
dead serious about this endeavor & Hannah knows how to use the computer
program to put the scenes together & overdub vocals & music. This will
certainly
be interesting. We'll keep you posted on movie & other artistic developments.


SUPERDADS

_The Superdads _ (http://www.yosimusic.com/super.html) (Yosi's band)
will be performing a ton of concerts in the next few months! (See _calendar_
(http://www.yosimusic.com/concerts.html) below.)

One special show in late April is at the legendary _WORLD CAFE_
(http://www.worldcafelive.com/) in Philadelphia. What makes this show special,
apart
from the great venue is that proceeds from ticket & CD sales will go to
_Cure Autism Now_ (http://www.cureautismnow.org/) . We feel fortunate to have
the
opportunity to perform & donate part of our sales to such a worthy cause. We
ask that you come out to enjoy the concert & join us in sharing your support
& raising awareness.

NEW CD

There's a wonderful new Yosi album in the works! Yosi's been busy in the
studio working on the next CD. The release date is tentatively mid-June,
2006. The album is full of songs about food & cooking. It's entitled: What's
eatin' Yosi?
One exciting feature about the album is it will span many diverse
musical genres, such as: Zydeco, Reggae, Klezmer, Opera, Rock, Country,
Barbershop
Quartet, Punk & more!
We've got top notch musicians playing a huge array of instruments. Let's
see there's...drums, bass, guitars, banjo, ukulele, clarinet, tuba,
saxophone, slide trombone, trumpet, piano, washboard, harmonica & a few more we
can't
seem to recall at the moment. Plus there's great kids singing & some special
guest vocals.
Next month we'll tell you about the wonderful art for the CD, & how to
preorder your signed copy!


YOSI'S FRIENDS

It's good to have friends! We'd like to introduce you to three of Yosi's
talented friends who have some cool news:

_Danny & Kim Adlerman_ (http://dannyandkim.com/index.html) , are an
author & illustrator couple & good friends of Yosi. They have just self
released
a new book, entitled How Much Wood Could A Woodchuck Chuck? The lyrics take
some wonderfully wild twists & turns, & the illustrations are done by 11
different illustrators! Talk about wild! Check it out:
_http://dannyandkim.com/woodchuck.html_ (http://dannyandkim.com/woodchuck.html)
The book comes with a CD of the song. Buy a copy & ask them to autograph it.
They'll be glad to.
Oh, incidentally, Kim Adlerman did the illustrations for Yosi's _Under A Big
Bright Yellow Umbrella_ (http://www.yosimusic.com/listen.html) CD.


_Brady Rymer _ (http://www.bradyrymer.com/home.html) is Yosi's friend
from Long Island. Brady has just released his forth full-length children's CD:
Everyday is A Birthday. It's got some great groovin' songs your whole family
will dig! Check out his concerts with a full-band: Brady Rymer & his Little
band That Could.
BTW: Brady was recently in the studio with Yosi to sing & play guitar on
a couple of songs on Yosi's upcoming CD.


_Miss Amy_ (http://www.missamykids.com/) , a NJ children's
musician/friend will be performing a benefit concert for Walk America for the
_March of
Dimes_ (http://www.marchofdimes.com/newjersey/7664_17966.asp) with Miss Amy &
