Recording of my song " I drive an AMC " looking likely now...

[Jerry Casper <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Well, due to a set of circumstantial circumstances,
I MAY actually get my parody song of Lee Greenwood's "
God Bless the USA " ( written as " I Drive an AMC " )
finally recorded, sung, and possibly "published"! I
met a guy thru an Internet Yahoo Group called
Freecycle, which promotes recycling personal items
rather than throwing them away by giving them away
thru this Internet group as individuals. Anyway, he's
into Christian music, and I met him thru Freecycle by
giving away an electronic kids drum set. He's building
his own private studio, and said he'd be happy to
record and sing it when he's done. He was a background
player with some band awhile back, Savage Garden?, but
has since Heard The Word, and does only Christian
music now.
  On yet another circumstantial note, a new co-worker
is heavily into music, and when I mentioned my
song-writing ability ( well, my PERCEIVED ability,
LOL! ), and my desire to maybe get this song out to
other people, he said you could buy the rights to
produce a limited run of CD's or other mediums by
contacting the Harry Fox Agency in New York, for 5 to
7 cents per copy ( under 2,500, minimum 500 ), you can
pay for and receive legal permission to release your
own version of different songs. About $70 for the
license. 
  So, 7 years since I first (re)wrote this song, it
may actually be possible to finally get it on a CD and
sell it to fellow AMC lovers ( assuming anyone wants
to hear it, LOL! ). I still have 3 other songs , all
unique and not parodied, to try to get music to, I am
a lyric writer, NOT a musician. Doubt I'll wait to get
it all on one, that might take ANOTHER 7 years. But at
least one song could make it a hard-copy medium before
2005 is out. One can hope ( as I have been ). Well,
just thought I'd pass the news along, as I'm sure
you've all tired of waiting for it to be released.
LOL. Same time as it takes me to get an AMC running
again. Ouch. Anyway, everyone have a great holiday
season, and a safe one. AMC ya!
