  • the Burpee Song

    i was reading a friend's facebook (hi Heather and Brian!) thread about burping contests, and decided to dig up this recording, a short clip of which i posted a while ago...it's no shock to those who know me, that i have a kid who shares my bizarre sense of humor...i love listening to her, trying to find the words to describe an announcer...this was her at age six, or so, long before she became aware of her comedic sharpshooting skills...enjoy, orrrr not!...heh heh

RIP, my pal, Angel... one day, i will dust this off, and redo it, with my current skills... i was just rediscovering playing keys, here, for the first time since playing gospel, in a South Side Baptist Church on State Street, in Chitown, as a little boy... oh, yeah, sorry about the drum machine, although i did program it, a beat at a time...lol
