I’m honored to have some of my children’s songs included in McGraw-Hill Publishing Co.’s comprehensive new educational program for pre-kindergartners. Nationwide sales are going very well.

Wow, what fun! With 4 fabulous actors–Darlene Popovic, Valentina Osinski, Joe Osborn, and Sean O’Brien, we had ‘em rolling in the aisles–even though there were no aisles–at the Seafood Peddler New Year’s Eve. It was a joyous night.

San Rafael’s Seafood Peddler’s cookin’ up some highly entertaining New Year’s Eve fare–Rita Abrams’ 5-STAR REVUE! For one night only, Emmy-winning Abrams & her cast of Bay Area notables–Valentina Osinski, Darlene Popovic, Joe Osborn, Sean O’Brien–will serve up a concoction of hilarious songs & satire comprising the best of her work, vintage & new. TICKETS: Seafood Peddler: (415) 460-6669 or Murphyproductions.com

Watch my new video, starring Sadie Slotnik–BUBBIE GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER. My dear friend Dr. Elmo let us use the track from his megahit Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. And a group of fabulous friends joined in for the video wonderfully directed by Tim Amyx. Hope you like it, and forward it!
