The Return of Super Monkey and More

Yesterday I finished recording all the songs for the new CD "Super Superhero Songs". The song my daughter and I wrote "A Guy Named Stan" came out AWESOME! I have included it at the bottom of this post. I also made a change on the CD cover, as I added a remix of a classic Mr. Billy song from a decade ago called "Super Monkey" (which is also at the bottom of the post). I felt that since we were all superheros on the cover I should add Super Monkey too! Can you see him up above?

I am doing the final mixing, mastering and graphic design over the weekend while I'm on the road with Wil. 

I was going to take a break but I only have 31 days to do 36 new songs, so I'm starting the next project today. It's called "Sensational Songs About Science...Fiction?" Like the title?

As I'm getting nearer the end of this project I would really appreciate you  blogging, posting on your FaceBook/Twitter, sending a note to any music writers/newspapers etc. It would be cool to let a ton of people in on this race to the finish...

Anyway, thanks for all the love and support pouring in, here are the new songs, hope you dig 'em!

Magneto and Titanium Man Return!

OK, here is is day 2 of the recording and production of CD #9 "SUPER SUPERHERO SONGS" (which I'm thinking of adding a Vol. 1 to the title, what do you think about that?).

Today I just finished the first complete song a cover of Paul McCartney's classic "Magneto and Titanium Man". Does anyone know these guys? Magneto is from X-Men right? But I thought he was a villain..and who the heck is Titanium Man and the Crimson Dynamo? I gotta brush up on my old comic knowledge.

This was actually the first song I decided to do when I chose a superhero theme. My daughter Taelor and I sing this song at the top of our lungs on the way home for gigs to help stay awake. I even added her name in the lyrics...she might hate that...dads...what are you gonna do. Next thing you know I'll drop by the school with a snack and give her a hug in front of her classmates! Daaaaaad!!!!!!!

Yesterday I spent all my free time working on more of the graphics, here is Family Hero #3, my wife Cathi is, "FLOWER POWER!". Pretty cool huh. Now I need to create a hero for my...just THE MIGHTY MR. BILLY??? I don't know yet.

I also started working on a new song about 1 AM last night (couldn't sleep) called "SUPER SIDEKICKS", a collaboration with Sue Straw from Oklahoma. It's a fun time, a rocker with interactive clapping parts. I might try to finish that or something else today, we'll see.

Anyway, here is the RETURN of "Magneto and Titanium Man"
