I
have written a few songs in years past. Here's some mp3's I put together
on my home recording studio (A Roland BR-8). I did all the parts, including
singing (which was maybe a mistake :-) Anyway, I had fun and I hope you
at least get a smile out of them. I recorded the NPR
All Things Considered theme on slap bass, and sent it in on CD.
A couple weeks later, the Director of the show, Bob Boilen, called me
at home to tell me to turn on the radio so I could hear as they used the
clip for the first time -- very nice of him! A few days later, Friday
afternoon before a Sunday Christmas, the roads were packed and I heard
the clip again as I was driving. Definately the biggest audience I'll
ever have! Every few months I'll hear them use it once or twice: My "15
minutes" is adding up 7 seconds at a time :-). Also be sure to check out
Bob Boilen's NPR show All
