This is a collection of my most requested songs, plus some brand new ones. The songs joke about everything from raising kids to directing choirs to singing in the shower. Styles include country, jazz, Cajun, disco and foxtrot. The second half of the CD was recorded with a VERY live audience.
1 All My Rowdy Kids
Our idea of a good time changes as we get older, ESPECIALLY
after we have kids.
2 Sometimes It's Hard to Sing in
Choir
I won't tell you the real title. Let's just say I felt bad
after writing a few songs poking fun at choir members. This
one makes fun of the one behind the stand.
3 I Drove My Brother Crazy
As a kid, my love of music and my ability to imitate
instruments were a dangerous combination. Anyone who has
ever shared the backseat with a sibling will love this
song.
4 It Ain’t Easy
People think being a choir director is all fame and fortune with
the prestige, the high salaries and the stock options. This
song tells the other side of the story.
5 Land of the Minivan
I began this song as I took my daughters to school one
morning. When I pulled into the parking lot, I joined a
line of minivans that stretched as far as the eye could see.
6 Teenage
Driving Blues
Ever notice that parents suddenly look a lot older when their
kids start driving?
7 Milk Cow
This song is as old as disco itself. Though we were never
discovered, my friend, Roy White and I had a summer job playing
at Carowinds, a theme park in Charlotte, NC. This was our
signature song which caused crowds to slow almost to a trot on
their way to the rollercoaster. Kids and teens LOVE this
song.
8 Pepper Is My Real Name
People always ask two questions at my concerts. This song
answers the first. To the second, I always reply, “How
old do you THINK I am?
The following songs were recorded live at Music in the Mountains, East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, August 10, 2000.
9 B-A-B-Y
This is another song I wrote at Carowinds. The spelling
song is the true test of a songwriters craft.
10 Shower Sing
I really did begin “writing” this song in the
shower. The style is a cross between Neil Diamond and Slim
Whitman.
11 Ukelele Baby
This was the first time I performed this song in public and I was
very concerned that it was just too dumb. A guy on the
sixth row added to the challenge, but ultimately made the song a
hilarious event.
12 William Tell Overture (Nose
Whistle)
Because this song would damage my professional image, I decided
to cut this song from the CD. My apologies to those who
might have receive a copy where it is mistakenly included.
13 The Choir That I Conduct...
Well, the real title gives away the joke. It's about
a choir that considers their director's instructions as merely
suggestions.
