I think it was the only song in history to make Billboard #1 without any instruments being played.. (a cappella)

I think that's right. Just another testament to B. McF's skills.

without continuing to hijack Mike's thread, I will say one more thing about the song Don't Worry Be Happy, it was ripped off from Meher Baba which was what Meher Baba always told his devotees, in which Pete Townsend was a devotee, and also Tommy the Rock Opera written by TOwnsend was inspired by Townsend's love for Meher Baba.. I'm done..

You're done when I say you're done, laddie!

Please explain that comment. I wasn't aware Meher Baba had a musical career. Or are you referring to the line "Don't Worry Be Happy"? Was that a quote attributable to Baba?

If so....that's no more of a ripoff than Pete Townshend singing "There once was a note pure and easy". More like a tip of the hat and an acknowledgement to someone you respect, no?

"Enlighten" me, Dane.

That guy has vocal chops and ideas that are other worldly! If had one...I'd gladly give up a testicle to sing HALF as good as BF!!!

Bah!!!


Agree on the vocal talent. I'll kindly hang on to all my parts tho thanks.

how much is the CD at Amazon Mike? give me a link and I will buy one

Thanks for asking Dane! It's $12.99 at Amazon (or you can download) - if that's too high for your current budget, make me an offer by email (it's in my profile) and pay by Paypal and I'll mail you one.

As my first CD, I've learned a sh!tload about recording since I did this (on a little Boss BR600 recorder). So hoping my next CD (if I don't give up) sounds better - even if the vocals still suck.

Mike, I see no email in your profile.. I've got an email in mine, email me , and I'll buy one, and you include shipping?

no need for Amazon to get seller's fees..

Dang BM people let spammers come in here and post a zillion craigslist crap things, but can't wait to delete info from people's profiles!

I'll email you from home later. yeah, make an offer that covers my cost and shipping (hopefully!) I've got about a dozen copies left and can order more if I ever need to.

no need for Amazon to get seller's fees..

You wouldn't believe how little I get from a CD sale there - I get more when someone downloads the whole album, though!

aw c'mon J7....you know how it goes, no guts no glory!

I ain't gonna low ball you Mike, but thought I would give you your asking price of $12.99 and include shipping? shipping should not be more than $1.69 or thereabouts? I use DYMO Endicia shipping and get commercial base rates though, you might not be able to?

Amazon is a very strict place/venue to sell stuff on.. they demand you use white background for photos of the merch you want to schlepp

Mike, when you acknowledge the offer of $12.99 including shipping to my door is acceptable, reply on this thread, and I'll get payment headed your way via paypal or WebMoney
