Ginger Hendrix, Macaroni Boy Eats at Chez Shooby Doo – You don’t need a studio full of musicians to make a winning kids CD. This Southern California mom shows how much you can do with just a guitar. Like the best lyricists, her wit is sometimes broad for the kids and sometimes sly for the adults. The last tracks, recorded live at a local preschool, are templates for people leading their own singalongs.
Amy Davis lists our CD as one of her Top 10 kids and family albums of 2006.

"I love to find moms making great kids' music. And I love it even more when those moms turn out to be smart, funny, and cool – the kind of mom I would want to hang out with at the park or at soccer, if only she would have me. . ."

Like Bill Cosby, there are a number of male kids' music artists with a broad sense of humor -- Trout Fishing in America, Robbie Schaefer, Daddy-A-Go-Go, the list goes on. The number of female kids' music artists whose broad sense of humor is apparent in their songs is much smaller. In fact, Laurie Berkner might be the only name that comes to mind, and one name isn't really a list. But with her debut, Macaroni Boy Eats at Chez Shooby Doo (2006), Ginger Hendrix is here to make it a list.
