The following is an excerpt from the second track, Punkie and the Spitfires.
It's a song about a three-piece band - perhaps the ultimate band - who save the world!

fighting "The Forces" any way that she could...

I've always been interested in ways to express ideas and emotions through music. As a kid I would write my own lyrics to popular songs. As I learned to play trumpet I would create my own melodies. As I became interested in singing I began to learn more about chord progressions. By the time I was in college I started to get more serious about trying to compose and arrange - turns out it was hard! I attended the Grove School of Music and Dick Grove's teachings would provide me with a solid foundation and I'm still building upon that and continue to learn with every new song, composition or arrangement.
Tigger the #cat wishes you all a happy #caturday
It was an interesting week for his extended human family: where the fridge broke for a bit, the toilet clogged. Tigger's human brother wrote some code and wrote some new songs - boring!
Tigger is hoping for a treat for every like or boost he receives here - he's such a humble little guy!
The painting in the background is Tigger's favorite, painted by a relative.
This guy is professional and direct on a hairball of an issue related to #profanity and #YouTube's guidelines. I don't have a strong opinion on this topic although I do wonder how sustainable it will be...who knows?
All I really want to see is the #SNL version of this! ;)

Tigger the cat would like to wish everyone a happy #Caturday. His week was filled with naps, playtime, treats, moments of unconditional love, and other moments where his affections were entirely conditional! ;)
I won a costume contest, but I didn't mean to! Just goes to show that sometimes a simple idea can be a magical thing!
During the intermission for #ThePrincessBride movie I was called up to the stage, much to my surprise! I'd dressed as "Grandpa" (Peter Falk's character in the movie). I was the only one there who did. All those great costumes, swashbucklers, princesses, ROUSes, and kids dressed up. And yet, it was Grandpa (me?!) that got roars from the audience!? What can I say?!
As you wish!
Wow... there's a lot of talent going on here!
