After a brief hiatus, I join my wife for another episode of NapCast. Give it a listen here. Enjoy!

...so head on over to the Masters of Song Fu songwriting contest and cast your vote! The competition is stiff this time 'round so I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for listening! (and for voting!)

It's that time again. Quickstopentertainment.com has launched round 3 of their Masters of Song Fu songwriting contest. I couldn't help but notice that the competition has become, well, bigger. They have a sponsor, more talent than ever before (gulp) and a new master in the line-up: Neil Innes. For those who don't know, Mr. Innes was responsible for much of Monty Python's music as well as a little project called "The Rutles". He has been a hero of mine since I was a kid so, needless to say, I am very excited (and nervous) about this particular cycle of the contest. The song we need to write for this first round has one simple rule. We need to write a "happy" song. That's it. So I have a question - What is "happy" to you? (Or more to the point... do you have any ideas? 'cause it's been a busy week and I need to get crackin'.) Check out the contest and the other contestants and stay tuned. I'll post again when the songs are up and ready for voting on.

In other news, I have updated my blogs look. (what do you think?) My new album is coming along nicely, but it's taking longer than expected. Also, look for a new Napcast very soon. Thanks for listening!

Wonder what I think about the drama surrounding T-O this week?

Want to hear Jackie's challenge to everyone's favorite anonymous commenter?

Well then you're in luck! Napcast: Episode 4 has all the makings of a made-for-TV movie... drama, suspense and even some bad acting. Plus: If you listen now, you'll even get to hear sweet Lucy's debut Napcast appearance. Straight from her mama's lap, of course.

Episode 2 of NapCast is up and ready for your listening pleasure. Check it out here on my wife's blog... and please give us some feedback. Thanks for listening!

So, the wife and I have been talking about doing a podcast for as long as there have been podcasts... but with 3 kids under 4, how do you find the time? Nap time of course! So now, at the start of a new year, we present to you NapCast. A short, weekly (we think) podcast about quality of life, music, media and of course... parenting. We will have interesting interviews with people who have gained insight into the secret to living (and not just surviving) in this chaotic time. Here is our premiere episode. It's a little rough and we are still working on the format... but we wanted to get it out there to kick off the new year. Enjoy!

NapCast Episode #1

You can also catch the podcast on my wifes blog here. Let's not just survive 2009, let's make it amazing!
