If you look up "sloppy two-and-a-half part harmony" ...

...in the dictionary, you get the vocal I just added to "Megabytes (Silhouettes)".

Don't laugh. Okay, laugh.

I dropped out of high school to drive a bus...

Did you know Marshall Brickman wrote some of Johnny Carson's old "Tea Time Movie" bits from the Tonight Show? I didn't, until I read this interesting piece on the Jersey Boys Blog a couple of weeks ago. And if you don't get the connection between this blogpost and the Tea Time Movie, then you're not from beautiful downtown Burbank.



I drove a bus with Chuck Berry, Halle Berry, Berry Gordy, Gordy Howe, Howie Long, Martin Short, Dean Martin, Dean Jones, Jimmy Dean, James Dean, James Joyce, Joyce Brothers, the Smothers Brothers, the Righteous Brothers, the Mills Brothers, Phil Everly, Don Everly, Don Johnson, Lyndon B. Johnson, Johnny B. Goode, Rutherford B. Hayes, Lincoln Hayes, Abraham Lincoln, David Dinkins, Mandy Patinkin, Andy McDowell, Roddy McDowell, Thurston Howell, Simon Cowell, Neil Simon, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Art Carney, Art Fern and Rex the Wonder Dog...

...AND (pauses to catch breath)...

...Sam Cooke, Sam Levinson, Sammy Spear, Emma Samms, the St. Louis Rams, Louis Armstrong, Lance Armstrong, Sheryl Crow, Lisa Kudrow, Woodrow Wilson, Jackie Wilson, Jackie Mason, Jackie Gleason, Jackie Joseph, Jackie Seiden, Jackie Martling, Jackie DeShannon, Shannon Gaudio, Shannon Doherty, Denny Doherty, Denny Laine, Penny Lane, Cleo Laine, Frankie Laine, and Frank Fontaine...

...but I never heard a voice like Frank Fontaine's...after he visited 7 or 8 bars he sang like Crazy.
