I am No Longer Bananas

Yesterday I left the world of bananas behind me. After finishing the last song, "I Go Bananas for Bananas" (hear the track at the bottom of this post) with +Monty Harper I began working on the final CD of the project! "A Little Help from My Friends". Yea me!

One of the hardest parts of the project was having enough songs. I started out writing most of them and doing a few covers on each CD. As other writers joined in I had more to choose from. I am currently in the process of recording five different songs at once and still have a ton to choose from, check it out...

SONGS WORKING ON NOW:

1. With a Little Help From My Friends - with many musicians and singers
2. Why Can't We Be Friends- with many musicians and singers
3. Together Again - with my daughter Taelor
4. Wipe Out Wil - with my son Wil
5. Barbie Girl - with my wife Cathi

SONGS STILL AVAILABLE TO CHOOSE FROM:

2. Worlds Lamest Superhero - Mike McManus
3. Woke Up Cranky - Dave and Oliver Kinnoin
4. They're Never Gonna Play This Song on the Radio - Monty Harper and me
5. The Guitar Players that Saved the World - me
6. Just Ducky - Leanne Regalla
7. Crazy With Happiness - Dave Kinnoin
8. Swimming With Dolphins - Dave Kinnoin
9. Feet Feet - Marla Lewis
10. I Just Made You Say Underwear!- Monty Harper and me
11. I Don't Want an Easy Life - Dave Kinnoin

So to be honest I have NO IDEA what I will be doing next!

All I know is that I will be attempting to finish this CD and the entire project before Christmas Eve...PERIOD.

OK, so HO! HO! HO! Away I go off to recording land, hope you like the song today!

This is how I get myself into trouble

Today I am supposed to be starting CD recording project #11, the sequel to my amazingly popular "Electric Bananas" CD called, "Another Bunch of Electric Bananas" (clever huh? Yeah right!). I now only have 21 days to record two more CDs, better get to it...

BUT NO...I I not happy with one of the tracks on the last CD. "My Flying Car". A nice little waltz by Dave Kinnoin. Great tune, but not really my speed...actually really not my speed...too slow. My vocal is not right either...I just can't release this, so instead of starting the next CD, I re-recorded that song this morning...this my friends is how I get into trouble! Do you remember when I re-recorded an entire CD earlier this year?

Yes I am nuts...or BANANAS! Get it? I crack myself up!

Anyhoot...I redid it, I love it and now I can more on. Here it is (at the bottom of this post) I hope you like it.

Now as far as the new CD goes here is the working playlist (totally subject to change and mad mind boggling revisions)...

1. I Go Bananas for Bananas
2. James the Racecar Kid
3. Happy and You Know It
4. Party Like a Rockstar
5. Just Ducky
6. Bing, Bang Boom!
7. Mario Theme
8. Funky Hu
9. Monkey, Monkey
10. Feet, Feet
11. TBA
12. Another Bunch of Electric Bananas

Recording Happy and you know it right now. This is going to be another attempt to use many different languages, it was my daughters idea...and a good one! 

And now for the updated "Flying Car" song...
