The tools of Marcus Gale's trade are an acoustic guitar, two puppets named Froggie and Doggie, maracas and a blue cap he calls his 'singing hat.' 'I think about what a 4-year-old would think about,' said Gale of how he writes his songs. 'I look around at the world, at nature, at things kids would easily recognize and at basic fun experiences, and I come up with songs like 'Beach Day,' 'Best Friend' and 'My Dog'.'

Gale's songs are upbeat, folksy and soothing. With lyrics like 'my dog is soft and furry/my dog likes to run/my dog never worries/my dog is lots of fun,' Gale keeps it basic.'My message is that life is good and there is so much that makes you feel so glad!'
