Parodeities on CD (well, MP3, anyway) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| One problem with just writing parodies of songs is that it's difficult to communicate exactly how the words are sung via text on some web page. Without an actual performance of the parody, the audience often misses the nuances present in the parody (if they follow the parody at all). I discovered early on that most people couldn't really appreciate a Parodeity without actually listening to the tune. Not being a musician or singer myself, I originally tried to find someone to perform these parodies so I could post recordings on Webster. However, recording this music is a lot of work and expecting someone else do that that work, gratis, was expecting a bit too much. So I broke down and recorded these tunes myself. Originally, without any form of formal vocal training the vocal performances were pretty rank. So I took some vocal classes at the local community college in order to improve things. Since then, I've been busy re-recording some of the old recordings to improve the quality of their performance. In October, 2004, I finally finished cleaning up the recordings in Parodeities Volume VI. Enjoy! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
