Here’s a tune that my friend Christina and I did together. She won the job as our female duet vocalist with the smile that lit her face when she read the words and heard the melody. You really had to be there. She was busy finding a key that worked for us both and was singing along just minutes after we gathered to discuss doing the song together. Turns out we were a good blend in the key of E, an easy place for us both to operate while delivering the intended grins together. It is upbeat and funny according to plan. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
I’m A Cheaper Date Than That (Boy / Girl Duet)
1.	Boy, who you tryin’ to fool? / I know you drive an old Ford truck
You can’t afford this lobster / Or this imported Peeking Duck!
If you really want to impress me / Let’s get a pizza and a bottle of wine
We can eat at my kitchen table, baby / and I’ll show you a real good time!
CHORUS: 
I’m a cheaper date than that, all I want is to be with you
As long as we’re together, baby, don’t matter what else we do
You don’t have to impress me, spending cash like some fat cat
All I need is your company, I’m a cheaper date than that.

1. Girl, are you trying to bowl me over? / putting on the dog in your double wide
Must’a took most of your paycheck / just to make me feel full and satisfied
If you really want to fill me up / get a meal deal from Captain D’s
I’ll share all my hushpuppies / and some of anything else you need!
CHORUS:	
I’m a cheaper date than that, all I want is to be with you
As long as we’re together, baby, don’t matter what else we do
You don’t have to take me to a premere concert., spending cash like some fat cat!
All I need is your company, I’m a cheaper date than that.

Bridge: 	
I’ll be your sugar daddy, 
I'll be your sugar mama
We can run around the house in our BVD’s
Go to Walmart in our pajamas.
Chorus: 	
I’m a cheaper date than that, all I want is to be with you
As long as we’re together, baby, don’t matter what else we do
You don’t have to feed me fancy foods, spending cash like some fat cat
All I need is your company, I’m a cheaper date than that.

I'm A Cheaper Date Than That Wav

This song was inspired by the birth of our first grandson Wesley.  Wesley's parents are both inspired chefs.

Little Chef Wesley

The story of a drawer that has been locked for years.  When the drawer opens, that changes everything...

The Locked Drawer

(1:07) - dialogue
P: Okay, it's getting late, ... and we heard there might be a storm coming in tonight
Stu: We're all set
Ricky: We are resilient!
Bailey:  I’m still cold and wet!
Andre: Didn't you bring the orange jacket Mom got you for your birthday?  That's really warm.
Bailey: No. I left it home!  She said it was really expensive, and said I better not get it dirty.
Norm: Mom said that!?
Bailey: Something like that.  So, I left it in the closet.
Gerald:	 Sometimes a present comes to us, all wrapped up with emotional strings attached.  My mom once gave me a book that belonged to my grandmother.  She got very serious and said "Gerry, I've taken care of this book for years!  Saved it just for you!  Now you better take good care of it!  Pass it on down to your children, so they can pass it on down to their children." I've still got it, safe in a box in the attic.  I never did read that book.
Quin: I know exactly what you mean about some gifts.
Stu: That’s a lot of pressure to put on a kid!
Leon: It happened to me too!
Andre: And me.
P: And me, ... so Quinn and I wrote a song about it.
Stu: Let’s hear it!  And it's my turn to push the Sonical Digital Musical box button!
