Benny Asking People Questions

If you’re into Family Folk then chances are you have meandered across the path of Angie Who. Bringing country folk to the children’s/family musical genre, Angie’s music is a soulful search into the love a mother has for her child and the new found fondness of her own mother.

In this Interview, Angie discusses just what went into capturing that feel and how much money she owes her mum because of it.

There are few children’s acts as dedicated to the art of musical enlightenment when it comes to our children than the Okee Dokee Brothers.

Their unique approach in bringing honest, educated genres to our children is unparalleled and has earned them several Grammy Noninations including one win for their album Can You Canoe.

On Parent Time today Benny talks with one half of the duo, Joe Mailander, about their methods, their commitment to the craft, a friendship born from a mutual love for adventure and just how little they knew about horses before spending a month on one.
