Hi all! Our friend Dean Pitchford, amazing songwriter (Footloose anyone?) and children’s book author (The Big One-Oh, Captain Nobody), wrote to tell George and me about this singing/video sensation. Give it a listen…it’s playful and innovative. Here’s Dean’s message below, along with the link.

It was this past summer when I first saw videos of a young Yale student named Sam Tsui who, with a video producer friend, has been creating these astonishing a capella mash-ups on youtube… singing every part himself. His story has begun to gain celebrity and he recently (in late September) did the Bonnie Hunt song and sang your song. I think you’ll agree: his musical chops are extraordinary. And your song sounds as fresh and plaintive and celebratory as ever! Here’s the link:

A fine friend sent this youtube link about the recording of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album. You can view it in segments for the full tour. Their songs are little time released miracles that contain echos of the past and future…some strange and wondrous vortex was at play when Lennon and McCartney met and began writing…imagine where music would be now if not for the influence of their free thinking genius and the wise guidance of George Martin.

We finally have a presence on iTunes! You can find our first CD Boy Meets Girl, and Reel Life by typing Boy Meets Girl. If you type BoyMeetsGirl Music you’ll get The Wonderground. If you search for Boy Meets Girl Music you’ll see three of our CDs mixed in with a bunch of interlopers. See how subtle and tricky that is? Heh heh – still working to get them all interlinked! But truly, we’re grateful to have made it this far.
Next up, George cajoles RCA/BMG to put “New Dream” on iTunes as well (he’s an excellent cajoler). Thank you for all your kind interest and support.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you statesiders, and to everyone else a cheerful hello!

Hi there- we want to extend a price reduction on all of our CDs. You can now find them on the Discography or Store page for $8.99- enjoy our music and save!

Whitney Houston gave her best recent public performance tonight, at the ‘09 American Music Awards. She hit notes I haven’t heard in awhile, and looked comfortable being her new emerging self. Whitney shines again!

Among my family and friends you can tell time by the football season; there are coaches, coaches wives, rabid fans and players present and past. Glory days are revived every year, along with hope for the local team- pro, college, or high school.

I saw the Astoria Fighting Fishermen pummel Tillamook High in sheets of rain and wind. Somewhere up the coast Henri plays for Orcas High to see if they go to State. Kevin is reminded of championships won and lost and the rest of us might recall a moment in the sun, a pass caught on a stretch of beach… it was perfectly thrown, as I remember.

THANK YOU WEST COAST SONGWRITERS!!! That was an enjoyable weekend spent with you in Palo Alto. I take back not only some of your CDs and business cards, but many lovely memories of songs shared…wow! Extraordinary depth, talented singers and levity, even in these dark times for our music business…I returned home hopeful because of the good people that are working hard to heal it.

Let’s write great songs, and manage to have fun along the way-
c’mon, recipe 4 success!!
