Project 'Hangin' Out With My Baby' Launches National Children's Music Giveaway
Campaign at California Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles

NEW YORK, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- "Hangin' Out With My Baby," a CD whose
songs celebrate the special relationship parents have with their newborns,
infants and toddlers, will be distributed free to new parents in a national
campaign involving over 200 hospitals throughout the U.S. Starting today with
a live concert at the California Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles,
50,000 CDs will be given away this year by participating hospitals.

Arranged and produced by Rod Clemmons of Child Music Online, Inc.
(childmusiconline.com), written by performer and educator Dwayne Arvinger and
sung by him and his wife Lee Munn Arvinger, "Hangin' Out With My Baby"
features songs that transform tasks such as preparing breakfast, giving a bath
and even changing diapers into shared experiences in which the everyday
routines of childcare become special. The nationwide campaign, called Project
"Hangin' Out With My Baby," will provide thousands of copies of the CD to
expectant mothers attending birthing classes, new parents as they leave
hospitals with their babies and to National Healthy Start, a non-profit
organization that promotes community-based maternal and child health.

"'Hangin' Out With My Baby' is a wonderful parenting tool to put burning into
the learning of new parents, infants and toddlers," said Dr. Joycelyn Elders,
former Surgeon General of the United States. "It offers a great way to relax
the relentless rigors of child rearing by transforming parenting routines into
pleasant rituals for both children and parents with educational and fun
songs."

Dwayne Arvinger, who will perform songs from the CD and personally sign copies
for new parents and expectant mothers in the CHMC maternity ward, said that he
wrote the songs as a way of coping with the unfamiliar responsibilities of
caring for his baby son Asher. "I discovered that the music not only made the
work routine go more smoothly, it created an environment that enhanced the
special bond between me and my son."

Featuring 13 numbers, including "The Breakfast Song," "Time To Get Dressed,"
"The Diaper Change," "Supper Time Blues" and the title song, "Hangin' Out With
My Baby," the album celebrates the small, often magical, moments that comprise
a typical day of childcare. "'Hangin' Out With My Baby,' follows in the
age-old tradition of using music to turn work and everyday interactions into
something fun and playful," said Clemmons. "Our goal was to provide parents
and their babies a musical background that would enrich their new lives
together. I believe we have succeeded."
