KPIG in Freedom, California, which features a freewheeling mix of rock, folk and roots music, was an Internet trailblazer: in 1995 it became the first station to go live online, and since then it has built a global following. So has texasrebelradio.com, the online home of KFAN, Fredericksburg, Texas, whose offerings have a boisterous twist. Mueller recommends Santa Monica, California's KCRW, in particular Morning Becomes Eclectic, which runs weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon Pacific time and attracts entertainment-industry insiders to its latte-friendly rock, folk, jazz and world...

But one thing is certain: there will be no renditions of Itsy Bitsy Spider or I'm a Little Teapot, thank you very much. Most programs that aim to introduce toddlers to music rely heavily on traditional folk songs, many of which have been around for centuries, but the music in Aardvarks classes (and sold on CDs) springs entirely from the brain of its punk-rocker founder and lead instructor, David Weinstone.
