Join David Ogden Stiers and company for a charming mixture of classical music and story.

The idea for the album came about while the band was snorkeling in Hawaii, and producer/guitarist/vocalist "Solar" Steve Van Zandt witnessed a turtle trying to eat a plastic bag, believing it to be a jellyfish.

The songs feature creative lyrics about topics like whales, the purpose of sand, the vastness of the ocean and plankton, each with a touch of playful humor and plenty of educational nuggets, made easily to remember by the catchiness of the songs.
