The Bossy Frog Band <http://www.bossyfrog.com>
  is a fun and funky musical experience for children, young and old.
Led by Jeffrey Friedberg, certified music therapist, on banjo, The
Bossy Frog Band creates a safe environment for children to let loose
and discover the world around them. Songs are composed specifically to
facilitate growth socially, personally, cognitively, and physically.
Children will dance, sing and immerse themselves in the Bossy Frog
experience. The witty and catchy tunes fully engage children while
providing them opportunities to grow and develop.
 
Five teens from Sarasota, Florida, are making music from garbage. The
's instruments are made from recycled objects. The band started about
two years ago. Jack Berry�who was in eighth grade at the
time�decided to make a playable, homemade guitar. After some
trial-and-error, he ended up building it from a cereal box, a
yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend
Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other homemade
instruments as a way to promote recycling. "We want to show people
there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin,"
Jack, 16, told TFK. "You can actually reuse materials."
