Hi, I'm Cabby Cat!  Thanks for checking out the site!

I'm Mo-Mo Ya! 

Roll-over the buttons to find out about my New York adventure!

A musical adventure inspired by

true events!!  Sort of...

When a world famous cellist forgets his instrument in the trunk of a cab, mayhem ensues.  The blues trio the Hound Dogs plot to “borrow” the cello for a performance at the renowned Cool Note Cafe.   Cabby Cat and the cellist, Mo-Mo Ya, with the help of the NYPD, must find the cello in time for the big concert that night at Carnegie Hall.

Jason Carroll narrates Cabby Cat &

the Missing Cello.  Jason is also a national correspondent for CNN. Just back from covering James Cameron’s underwater dive in the Mariana Trench, Jason goes deep again reading Cabby Cat for the iPad.

Roc M is the mystery voice behind Cabby Cat, Mo-Mo Ya, The Hound Dogs, that sneaky music critic, Fox, as well as other characters.  When he is not impersonating imaginary cartoon characters he is working on a novel or playing trumpet in NYC.
