We're Fred Pinsocket Productions,
Who is Fred?
Our company was named after Fred. Fred actually is a little cartoon guy our founder, Peter Apel, has been drawing (more like "doodling") since junior high school. Fred's most common appearance through the years has been as a baseball player, though he has made appearances on various personal greeting cards and has shown up in such forms as a drummer, a graduate, and a cowboy. He almost always is seen withhis arms straight out to the sides, since our founder doesn't know how to draw him other ways.
 With Peter Apel's award-winning debut album, "I've Got a Dinosaur on My Head!" Fred finally was given a microphone, a space piano, and a new spaceman outfit and made it onto track 11 as a little spaceman singing about his favorite food. You can also hear brief guest appearances by Fred in "Sometimes I Have Oatmeal for Breakfast" and "Walking in a Circle" ( learn about the other 11 songs here ). One last thing...Fred's last name? Way back when our mascot only had a first name, our founder worked diligently in a summer job building printed circuit boards, where many of the heat-sensitive ICs had to be plugged into various sizes of pre-soldered sockets; 10-pin sockets, 18-pin sockets, etc. "Hey! That sounds like someone's last name!" Poof. Fred Pinsocket was born. Listen below to Fred singing with Peter Apel in this "I Love Bananas"
