(1888PressRelease) July 30, 2010 - Los Angeles, CA - It's time to gather the kids around for a musical dance party. Los Angeles based recording artist Mike McManus has introduced the world to an entirely new and super kid friendly character named Uncle Moondog. Haven't heard of him? You will, as Mike's own "McLefty Productions" offers both CD and video of Uncle Moondog and his friends for your entertainment.

The Uncle Moondog character is a fun lovin' and scruffy terrier that spends the best of his days with his friends, driving around in his dune buggy and singing songs about the things he loves. Uncle Moondog has a host of interesting friends including Bampy, the root beer drinking inventor that created Uncle Moondog's magical dune buggy, Timmy the Goldfish that Uncle Moondog won at the Sunshine Island Fair and the pesky Percy the Pelican that has a hankering for annoying Timmy on a daily basis.

Mike McManus and McLefty productions have currently produced two full length CDs as well as some highly entertaining cartoons that are available for streaming all over the internet. Kids love the songs that have titles like "Baloney Cake", "Bathtime Blues" and the ever-popular "Stanky Socks". That last title lends to the story of how Uncle Moondog isn't too fond of taking a bath.

Mike McManus is a former Boston, MA resident and a graduate of the famed Berklee College of Music. His extensive musical history includes three internationally released CDs with his band Ego Dog as well as recording and performing work ithat includes annual trips to entertain the American Troops stationed overseas. "Kids First! The Coalition for Quality Children's Media" has officially endorsed the Uncle Moondog releases and both parents and kids across the country are tapping their feet to his remarkable songs. "The Children's Music Web Awards" also voted the first Uncle Moondog CD as one of the best recordings for children 5-8 years of age.

So what does Uncle Moondog sound like? You'll be pleasantly surprised to find songs reminiscent of groups like the Beach Boys and even Jimmy Buffett as well as flavor from musical styling's including reggae, surf style, blues and pop. It is a well-rounded sampling of kid friendly musical styles that bring entertainment in every chord. The diversity of Uncle Moondog's songs virtually guarantees that these CD's will not be following the Wiggles into the trash bin when the kids' backs are turned.
