My Swine Flu song is 24 seconds long and was aired April 27, 28 and 29 2009 on WLUP. To the tune of Blue Moon.

BUT shake your BOOTY to my main man Petey's Swine Flu RAP. That's what I'm doing. Shaking my bootay, uh huh.

I believe Johnny's contract is up at the end of this month, which is the end of next week.

I have a gut feeling that Johnny will not be on the air for awhile after this coming Friday 2/27/09, but I'm sure he will turn up again somewhere. It's going to be an interesting week.

If he goes I will be very sad, as a contributor and as a listener. I will miss the whole deal- listening to all the personalities on the show, coming up with ideas, making the songs, checking to see if they get aired, laughing all the way! It has been a wonderful experience and this place, this VOX, has been a big part of it. There are some really cool people here, like beyond cool.

Thank you!

This is a parody of another contributor's song about Andres Nocioni, just traded from the Chicago Bulls.

Stay tuned for a really weird video.

Roland's days are numbered my friends. In more ways than one! Senator Burris will likely resign, and I "Roland Burris" will likely be losing the one person in the media who still supports me.

yeah, whatever.

This was the second of my parody songs actually played on radio. It was submitted to Johnny 11/13/07, aired on WLUP 11/15/07 and again several more times that month.  Although I heard this song myself on the radio, I didn't have the technology to capture the live show so I have no previous aired versions. 

I thought the song was "retired" never to played on the air again. But to my surprise it aired again today, in full, at 9 AM. Johnny was jamming on his congas, I mean JAMMING, at the end. Did I say he was jamming? With my song from 6 months ago? That's the closest I've come to playing with a real musician since Johnny played along with "Let that Hector Play" in March 2008. I don't play with other musicians: I usually play with myself. That's right, I play with myself.  You wouldn't believe the latest technology in digital recording.  I am a one man orchestra, even though I am not a very good orchestra!  In fact I am a jerk and a bit of a swine.

Here is the "studio" recording (final mix, slower) of "Hector and The Man" from November 2007 and the aired version from today with Johnny B playing along toward the end.

Stuck in Chicago- I left a voice mail on around 2/14/08 which was aired in various forms at least 5 times in Johnny B promos (what an honor!).  It's been about 2 months since it was last aired, I think.  "Well, I'm coming from New York..."

Thanks again to JB and whoever is deciding to play my creations on the radio.  It is an honor, not kidding.
