With some great beats and lyrics it will have your kids singing and bopping along! – As They Grow Up After garnering a Parents Choice Award for their 2009 album, Toddlerville, New Jersey-based kindie rock band Baze and His Silly Friends decided to rev it up a notch by producing an all-star lineup of quot;Guest Silly Friendsquot; on the bands third kids/family CD, The Best Day Ever Joining Baze and His Silly Friends are kindie music favorites Lucky Diaz, Suzi Shelton, Kira Wiley, Yosi, and Dave Lambert (The Fuzzy Lemons), as well as Stacia Newcomb (quot;Starquot; on PBS KIDS Sprouts The Good Night Show), Andrew Freeman (The Offspring, Lynch Mob), and the legendary Tom quot;Bonesquot; Malone, one of the original Saturday Night Live band members, who currently plays trombone for The Late Show with David Letterman, as well as with almost everyone else in the music biz.
