Gearing up for the show

The time is finally coming! The "new" original songs version of "LIFE... DEATH... AND ENTERTAINMENT" will be ready to go up by Summer 2011. The first festival workshop of the show had covers of other people's songs. When I permanently moved to NYC I went to a panel of famous writers and was asked: "Do you want your show to go to the moon!?" "Yes!" I said. "Well, then you have got to make it all original "YOU!" So... Ron Mesa, genius composer lyricist, and I have been collaborating on the creation of original songs since about October of 2010 and it has been a sheer blast! Some of the song titles: "I Love You, You Bitch" "Stand up Like a Man" "You are not Alone" "Here I Come New York!" There is one song I have collaborated with a talented composer named Alphonzo who wrote the song for my scene about having to become the public bathroom expert in Los Angeles when I had Crohn's Disease and the woman who wouldn't let me go in her pristine facility... it's called: "You Can't Shit 4 Free." It's kinda a spoken word, rock n' roll song... yes, people, I will be doin' a rap song in my show!
Well... it's been a long time since I posted so don't know when I will again.
Thanks for reading!
Hope to see you at the show!!
