Robin And The Giant: Press

Ocala, FL (PRWEB) August 13, 2008 -- Robin And The Giant have released a new song for children that has kids and parents giggling. The song, "A Hamster Poops" will appear on an upcoming CD for children expected from the duo in mid-September.

The song tells a story of a child who brings his two hamsters (Dave and Bruce) to class for show-and-tell and then, when the teacher asks what has been learned from the two pets, the only answer that the child can think of is that "a hamster poops."

The reply to the teacher results in the other children laughing and the reaction from their laughter is that Dave and Bruce get scared and run away to hide 'where the crayons are kept.'

Robin MacBlane, "Robin" in the duo, says, "We've always produced music and stories that entertain and often have a deeper message. In this song we've simply recorded a song for the fun of it so don't look for any deeper meaning."

"The Giant", also known as Larry Whitler, wrote the song and agrees that this one is simply telling a funny story. "If there's any deepness to this song," Whitler says, "it's that a good chuckle is therapeutic for the soul."

MacBlane and Whitler have worked together as Robin And The Giant producing children's music and children's books and radio programs since 1987. Their music is available from CD Baby and from many online retailers including I-Tunes, Rhapsody, and others.

Children's format radio stations can download a 320 kbps mp3 of "A Hamster Poops" from www.airplaydirect.com/robinandthegiant.

Ocala, FL (PRWEB) July 30, 2008 -- Children's recording artists, Robin And The Giant, have announced plans for a live acoustic show for children, for small intimate venues, and are describing the concept as a coffeehouse for children and families. The veteran entertainment duo calls the show the Milk And Cookie Café and have dubbed the conceptual café as MoonDoe's (a play on words of the popular coffeehouse StarBucks).

Robin And The Giant have been performing and recording for children since 1987. They were among the first children's artists to appear on the internationally distributed For Kids Only channel of the Digital Cable Radio Network.

2008 marks the 21st anniversary of Robin And The Giant. To commemorate those two decades and a year, the duo, based out of Ocala, Florida, will be making their program available to resorts, hotels, and campgrounds in the Sunshine State free of charge.

"It's our way of giving something back," notes Robin MacBlane who teamed up with Larry Whitler to form the children's duo.

Robin And The Giant have produced a radio program, and published three books, including a 572 page book of 56 short stories for children ("The Gift Of The Barking Frog And Other Gifts From The Heart"), an illustrated story book for young children about two puppies who discover each other's friendship ("Live To Sniff"), and a novel for young adults about two nine-year-old boys who learn some important lessons when they enter a time portal, including the absurdity of prejudice ("Oreo And Braun: XOB, The Full Circle Quest").

The centerpiece of Robin And The Giant has always been the music and in 2007 the duo re-mastered their double CD "Time To Travel" and their popular "Back To School" disc. In addition to the two re-mastered releases, Robin And The Giant have been in the studio the past two years re-recording some of their favorite self-penned songs and some newly written numbers.

Currently, Robin And The Giant have a total of six CDs available from I-Tunes and other online retailers. All the Robin And The Giant products are also available on the Robin And The Giant website: www.robinandthegiant.com where you can also find more information about the Milk And Cookie Café.
