Finding my superhero powers...

THE COOL CATS WILL CALL.  So I've created a super hero storybook character for my latest music video.  I went with a Druidic symbol on my chest, therefore, those of you in the know will get why it makes sense to run with the moniker of BARDMAN.  I spent a bit of time on Hollywood Boulevard working with some real life (actors portraying) storybook characters.  There is a line in this Cody Melville song "All the storybook heroes, are looking like a couple friends of mine", which, I suspect, somehow, inspired the crazy thought to create BARDMAN and bring him to life on Hollywood Boulevard.  Yes, now I can honestly state that I, joyously, have spent time with famous living characters such as, The Flash, Spongebob, Black Zorro, Superman, along with a compelling Michael Jackson reboot and several cool dudes with well mannered boa constrictors.  Ken Fischman helped me shoot this video - thanks Ken!  It is a Cody Melville written and produced song!  I have some color correction and titling yet to take care of on this video, but, I expect to post the completed version this coming Monday.  Oh, and I discovered an amazing new actress to play the role of my date in this video.  She seems a bit stiff - awkward - yet aesthetically, she is well put together and gave a flawless, unreal, performance.  THE COOL CATS WILL CALL is a lively, fun song, and ultimately I believe the video satires the idea of the pursuit of fame...  Or, at least, my pursuit of fame.  Regardless, I had a kick putting it together, and, would add, while shooting one day I was asked by Wonder Woman about my superhero powers.  I pondered her inquiry as I mumbled, "I'm just a singer shooting some video on Hollywood Boulevard."  Brandishing a warm beautiful smile she said, "Then that must be your superpower.  Singing."  Wow.  Wouldn't it be nice if Wonder Woman was only right.

Here's another still shot from the upcoming music video for my version of the Cody Melville song, THE COOL CATS WILL CALL. This is a shot of Flash along side Wonder Woman w/ Zorro looking on. Hollywood Boulevard is like a carnival for the eye.

Also, I would like to mention, Mike and Ed sent over the arrangement on my version of the Jason Peirce song BROKEN WINGS... Wow, I look forward to putting the vocal tracks together the first of next week.

Cool Cats Will Call on Hollywood Boulevard...

Been working it live with some heroic, and, some not so heroic friends on Hollywood Boulevard for my upcoming video.  The Cool Cats Will Call.  This new video should post by late next week.

The Work Song...

Okay, two cool things today. Well, tonight... I finally had the opportunity to sing the Work Song live with Marty and Elayne at the Dresden, in Hollywood. It wasn't brilliant, but, it wasn't not brilliant (whatever that means). Also, finally decided on the shoes for my blue costume for the next Dresden Cowboy music video. Monochrome man is just a couple weeks away. Regardless, the shoes are - Lugz Men's Brigade Hi TX Boot. Pretty cool boots, not that I'm getting a kickback or anything. I think everyone will get my blue choice upon completion and posting of the vid. The wardrobe choice is for the Cody Melville song titled The Cool Cats Will Call. I look forward to posting the music video soon.
