Old Man Joe, as he is affectionately called, and his Japanese wife often spend Sunday afternoons drinking tea and collaborating with musicians from distant lands.

The accompanying CD includes 14 unique songs that, while penned for children, resonate with all ages. PARENTS' CHOICE RECOMMENDED AWARD
