lump sat alone in a boggy marsh

The Presidents of the United States of America. Remember them? Just another alternative rock group from seattle. My personal favorite song was "Dune Buggy".

Wonder what they are up too now? Well in 2009 the lead singer Chris Ballew started performing as his new alter ego called Caspar Babypants. He sings his family-friendly songs at libraries in Washington state to encourage and reinforce early literacy. Cool!

Took the little Rowan to our local library to catch his concert. Of course we had to buy his deput album, have him sign it and get a picture.

P.S. If you have children you should really buy the album. It's quite darling. We loved the concert and listen to the CD everytime we get in the car. You can buy and listen to his album here.

Thanks you so much for thinking of us. We really do need to make a trip up there sometime soon. What month works for you guys?
