DANNY LAPIDUS was born in Belgium, but the family returned to Brooklyn when he was only three. Danny's connection to kids' music stretches back to these early days of childhood. First, his dad sparked his musical interest by filling the house with the tones of folk, jazz, blues, and bluegrass guitar. Then, as an adult, Professor Louie, a pioneering professional children's musician, revealed to Danny the magical ability to reach kids as young as two by projecting professional-quality music through a caring performance.
