I Need Man With A Chainsaw

My musical’s plot, setting and character motivations are totally starting to come together! 

Show will be set at an outdoor cafe with a motorcycle cop, a man with a chainsaw, a girl who had a wedgie on her wedding day, a broken-down Toyota, three goats, two chickens and a cow.  (Well kinda on those last 3.)

Here’s an Mp3 of part of the title track…   i_need_a_man_snippet

And here’s the Wedgie Wedding song, most of it…  wedgie_wedding_snippet

The third verses of each of those is  a bit of a secret.  You’ll have to come to the show to hear the twist at the end of each!

(P.S. above’s a picture our house in Nova Scotia which is currently not rented, bla, bla, bla,  whose trees do need a man with a chainsaw.  But that’s another story.)

Crescent Beach, 10 cords of wood and a musical

Kelly and Alyssa in Canada two months ago.

Evan-shually I’ll have big pix in my posts by default and will be blogging until about 2064 or so.  Big plans, people, big plans!

Canada…

Dad stacked 10 cords of firewood in his basement last week!  Split from trees he grew and cut himself and hauled a mile from his back lot last winter.   With his horses and sled.   Over snow and such.  In Canada!!!  And he’s 72.  What a guy.  Lots more on him, Mom and the rest of my clan evan-shually.

Jim, Kelly and I will be moving back to Canada In a couple years — lock, stock and summer apparel.  It’ll be hard to leave wonderful Austin but all of our 368 relatives (and that’s only out to 3rd cousins,) are in The Great White North.  And musically it could be a great fit for me as N. Y. City is actually a lot closer to Halifax than to Austin — less than a 3-hour flight.  The theatres of Broadway do beckon so brightly for the musical “I Need A Man,” I’m writing.   Plus, it’s only 2 hours from Halifax to Bermuda for those winter respites.  And direct non-stop flights to London, maybe even Paris fly out every day.  So maybe the move back won’t be so bad after all.
