I write songs for children. 💛 
And for everyone ☀️
who’s still tapped into 
a state of wonder. 💫

A note from Lori:

I went to therapy in 2002. A lot of things started coming out, many in song form. After getting out a bunch of adult songs, I began writing songs for children. I really LOVE it. 

My piano is covered with scribbled-on pieces of paper. When I'm feeling a little bad about the mess, I repeat my young son's saying: "I love my bwain." (The top of my piano likely looks like the inside of my brain.)

One of my dreams is to turn some of my songs into a musical. Most of my other dreams involve meeting my favorite living composers:

Bob Dorough (We met once after a concert and joked about going to a health food store together.)
Tom Lehrer 
Mose Allison
Randy Newman
Carole King
Yo-Yo Ma
Bobby McFerrin (We also met once. I was holding my young son and Bobby greeted us by pinching his own nose and making a clown-horn sound. Could I love him any more than I already did? Yes.)
