More cowbell! Tiny T is a freelance photographer and mother of three, whose motto is “I create passion”. Her friend Matt requested the song for her, and put forward the superhero theme as a way to frame the lyrics. I thought that was a great idea, and one I had surprisingly not done before. I [...]

This is the 17th theme song I’ve recorded in 31 days, and apparently I have completely run out of ideas. I decided to have a little fun with this one, branch out a little bit, and make stuff up. It is a really fun groove though, and I learned that putting a capo on the [...]

This theme song is for a three-month old girl, which frightened me quite a bit at first. If this song is good, she could identify with it for her whole life. If this song is not good, she will never have known it existed. That’s a lot of pressure to be good, no? I like [...]

THIS IS NOT A STALKER SONG! (Just wanted to get that out of the way.) This song was requested for Cynthia by her husband, and after 18 songs I had used up quite a few angles to write lyrics from. So this time, I wrote the lyrics from the point of view of her husband. [...]

Brian Cassidy is a stay-at-home dad, operating his business selling rare books and walking his 3rd grade daughter to school. In fact, he’s the best dad she could ever want, except for one thing: he’s just not that funny.  And she knows from funny. This is not a sitcom, though it most definitely should be. [...]

Here’s an older one I made for a Christmas present. I’m assuming it’s okay to post it, since Christmas was a week and a half ago. Kim is an Agricultural Historian – which you can figure out from the first line of the song – and I think that’s pretty awesome. She studies the history [...]

David describes himself as “a bit of a maths / computing geek,” attends Oxford, and… well, that’s pretty much all I needed to know before I had an idea of where his theme song would go. In 2004 I visited Oxford for a day while studying in the UK, and I loved it. Incorporating what [...]

This is a companion piece to “Jo Is and Is and Is,” though you wouldn’t guess by the sound of it. Danica is, in fact, Jo’s daughter. I have not received confirmation that Danica is an expert at Settlers of Catan(ica), or if she’s even heard of the game. But rhyming is hard, and that’s [...]

Oh, thank goodness Christmas is over! Now I can finally release the Christmas gifts I’ve made! Here’s the first of three I’ll post in the next few days. It is about Jo, a man who is a scientist in real life. In other lives, ones played out in World of Warcraft, he is not a [...]

My friend James requested a theme song for his Uncle as a Secret Santa gift, giving me three tidbits to work off of: he’s the president of an insurance company, he’s a rabid Cal sports fan, and he loves Van Morrison. I immediately decided it was time to reach deep into my creative well and [...]
