Releasing his new CD 'my trampoline'' Peter Himmelman, a Los Angeles based musician and dad to four children; , said that the songs on ''My Trampoline'' were inspired by real life. “We've had a trampoline in our backyard for the last ten years and our kids have had at least as much fun with it as any $30,000 swimming pool,” he explains. “I figure anything that simple and that much fun must have a lot of special significance. There’s something very metaphoric in a trampoline as well; you’re always striving to gain altitude ... and even though you may never quite get aloft, there's magic in the trying.”

Mr Himmelman, writes kid-friendly lyrics that can be hilarious and reflective at the same time. Any kid who has ever pondered the immensity of the universe will love the meditation of “Ten Billion Blades of Grass.” “The idea for the song struck me when staring at our lawn one morning. Each of the blades of grass seemed like a sentient being, with perceptions, however subtle, about the world around them. The thought occurred to me that they get along so well because they're one big family.” “Statistical Factoids” will delight young brainiacs, “Main Dish” gives the nod to both Julia Child and Charlie Pride and “Workin’, Playin’ and Dreamin’” offers up a bluesy romp with stories about kids who are making their dreams come true, with a little help from mom and dad. The high-energy collection of tunes concludes with a sweet “Lullabye (with Baseball and Trains).”

Sounds good certainly agree about the metaphysics of trampolining - but my billion blades of grass - the 'big happy family' are getting along so well as I haven't had a chance to mow em.

'My trampoline' is released in the USA at the end of August. I will be curious enough to search out a copy. Are there other trampolining records/songs....answers on a postcard please. With thanks to Abby and Sandy of 'Deals and Steals'
