Jim Mayer Inks Deal With Mailboat Records

Jimmy Buffett's Mailboat Records has signed Children's Music Artist Jim Mayer aka "Uncle Jim" to its label.

(PRWEB) January 15, 2005 -- One of children's music's freshest artists is growing in popularity! Jimmy Buffett's Mailboat Records has signed Jim Mayer, aka "Uncle Jim" to its label. Mayer's CD, "Uncle Jim -- Funky As A Diaper" is a collection of 12 original humorous and joyful children's tunes that are both musically sophisticated and lyrically fun.

This past year, "Uncle Jim - Funky As A Diaper" received a Children's Music Web Award and an iParenting 'Hot Product' Media Award. "Funky" is currently charted at #1 on XM KiDS Satellite Radio.

Mayer's talent shines on both electric and upright acoustic bass, playing with performers ranging from jazz legend Mose Allison to Ringo Starr. As a member of Buffetts Coral Reefer Band, Mayer has been writing, recording and performing worldwide with Buffett since 1989.

"Funky as a Diaper is a genuine hit with Kids across America on XM Satellite Radio," says Kenny Curtis, Program Director/Au Pair via Satellite at XM Satellite Radio. "It's a clever, well-crafted, expertly-produced piece of music that also happens to be about babies, diapers, and rhythmic dancing. It's the kind of thing we've come to expect from Uncle Jim!"

The CD is available nationally at all Tower Records retail outlets and also on the Internet. For more info, visit www.mailboatrecords.com.
