Like a lot of creative types, Nathaniel Jacobs doesn’t know exactly where his ideas come from. Including the really big one that landed the El Cajon kindergartner a coveted feature spot on “The Story Pirates,” a top-rated podcast that turns kids’ stories into songs and skits performed by the Pirates’ stellar cast of actors and musicians.
Nathaniel’s story, “The Strawberry Band,” was so inspiring to the Story Pirates crew, the song they created to go with the sketch became the title track of the Pirates’ latest CD. But if you ask the 6 1/2-year-old how he came up with the idea of a rock band that is eaten by a shark, he responds just like the budding writer he is and the future rock star he could be.
