This was no doubt the poppiest of the songs I wrote for Rosie and Zannie, and they sparked to it. They made up background parts and arrangement ideas and we all had a fun time singing it. Then they dashed through the double doors of the studio and jumped in the pool. It was February. Brrrr...

This is the only Spanish language ChalkZone song. (Eat your heart out, Dean Stevens!) It features the amazing vocals of my good friend Robbyn Kirmsse' as the voice of Penny Sanchez.

A while back I made a kidvid of songs about animals which I now call The PetSet. This is one selection from that video, featuring my wonderful and now departed cat Turo, as well as a glimpse of his pretty and equally departed (and missed) sister Lico.
There are 10 other Pet songs in the PetSet...about turtles, bears, ponies, mice, fish,giraffes, birds...you name it, we've got a song about it. You can own this charming video for a mere $10 plus shipping and handling. Write me an email if you'd like one. Until then, enjoy the easy going melody and visuals of Here Kitty Kitty...

Please don't ask to see the LYRICS...but maybe I'll show them to you eventually.
Three hep cats teach a new generation to sing scat. This is one of my all time faves of the ChalkZone Gang videos. And since we're singing about cool cats this week I thought I'd include in the Mine.

Bette Midler picked this song to be the opening number of her new Vegas act. Yes she did, that's a fact. It's a big chunk of FolkFunk and Hep Hop that has served me well for many a gig. It's one of those all weather songs that comes through for you, rain or shine. You've lost your job? Well, life is still very wow! You've just fallen in love? Life is still very wow! You fell down the stairs lost your shares forgot your prayers and are surrounded by bears? Hey, life is still very wow wow wow. Here's me doing it on a trippy afternoon in my dining room. Then I'll treat you to a little taste of Ms. Midler practicing it. Then maybe a hint of how I reworked the song for Bette's big show. And then The Backboners version from our album Spine. Wow!

And here's just an excerpt of Bette Midler and her amazing band rehearsing the version I wrote for her, at her behest, long before the Vegas gig... Cool horn charts, huh?
Bette Midler Sings WOW
Then, when the Divine One asked me to re-write the song as the opening number of her Vegas act, I did--three times. This is the first minute or so of the demo I made. So imagine that instead of me in a key too high, it's Bette Midler singing this song...
Bette's VEGAS WOW Demo
And finally, here's the version my band The Backboners (Suzy Williams, Kahlil Sabbagh, Ginger Smith and me) put on our debut album Spine.
