Music Means ME!
Dr. Paul Morehouse has been a professional musician since 1965 and early childhood music specialist since 1989. He created the Music Means ME! Jam Session in the mid-1990's when serving as Artist-In-Residence for the California Arts Council. As a music performer and educator, "Dr. Paul" has presented the Music Means ME! Jam Session for elementary schools, libraries and community events throughout Northern and Southern California. Then, in 2013, he met vocalist/bassist Hubert Reese. The dynamic collaboration of these two musicians brought this music concept to a new, exciting level at Sacramento's annual multicultural Banana Festival where the "Jam Session" is now featured each year. Filling out the band's diverse personnel are Mexican reggae drummer, Jorge Lopez, South African percussionist Marlin Brown, 18-year old Chinese keyboardist Fang Leiu and prodigious Davis Singleton, the group's inspiring 12-year old guitarist.

Party Animal Puppets
Join Nicholas and his Party Animals in the Kids Zone! Nicholas will be providing demonstrations and teachings throughout the day, on how to get the most out of your Party Animal Puppet!
The Original Party Animal puppets are truly a one of a kind design, each one hand-crafted at our workshop, here in Cobb, California. We use safe non-toxic materials, (acrylic long pile and plush fur) stuffed with standard batting, and embellished with pom-poms for the eyes, nose and tail. Finally, we construct a pinewood board tied to four lengths of standard fishing line, which in turn connect to the four control points of the Marionette; the two feet, the head and the tail. The materials are so light, and the design so perfectly balanced, that young children and adults alike can create an amazing dancing performance in no time at all! |
