His school and family performances showcase his award-winning original songs and illuminate universal themes of human life while celebrating the diversity of the world through an array of exciting musical styles.

Donkey in a Ditch, a song off Color Outside The Lines written by Les and Bill Pere was singled out by Parent's Magazine as possibly "the best children's song ever about a basic dilemma: should we help our fellow creatures even if they do nothing to help us?" His release, Living In The Land Of Ooh,Aah won a Parents Choice Recommended Award for 1998.
