Webathon and Compilation Album to benefit National Foundation for Transplants
If you know me, you know what a pivotal role organ transplantation plays in my life. It's made a tremendous difference in my quality of life and that of my family. Without it, my wife Amy would have been on dialysis for the past 8+ years rather than living free of a machine that she would have depended on for several hours a week to serve a vital function.
So, Amy and I are always delighted to open the laptop and hash out song ideas and lyrics to come up with something we can offer exclusively to BlowUpRadio's annual benefit for the National Foundation for Transplants.
This year, we dialed up the funny. Our new song “Underwater Basket Weaving” originated with a conversation about a friend and bandmate who is taking electrical engineering courses in college. Amy joked that the class is not exactly underwater basket weaving (a term intended to imply that a course of study or school isn't very serious). But I replied, “You know, I think underwater basket weaving would probably be pretty hard!” We both had a good laugh and mutually came to the conclusion that this should be a song.
So, here's a video of me performing “Underwater Basket Weaving.”
The full, official recording of this song can only be obtained by donating to the 3rd Annual Giving a Second Chance benefit with the National Foundation for Transplants.
As with all of BlowUpRadio's compilation records, I'm in the company of many great artists, several of whom live in, or have ties to, New Jersey.
