» BT's “Ask Kevin and Dina” segment with music by Steve Chatterton «
Yesterday I was invited down to the Toronto studios of CityTV (299 Queen Street West) for the live broadcast of the city’s number 1 morning show, Breakfast Television, affectionately known as BT by its fans.

For some reason, I have this brain that creates music whether I want it to or not. Sometimes it’s a gift, sometimes it’s downright maddening. Oh well, whatchya gonna do?
A few weeks ago, I was sitting in front of my TV wolfing down breakfast watching Breakfast Television (BT) on CityTV (Toronto) when one of the hosts (Kevin Frankish) mentions that their segment “Ask Kevin and Dina” could really use some theme music. I start thinking to myself that I should write them a little jingle.

Well, those of you keeping score at home will remember my article from the 25th about the song I sent in to CityTV’s Breakfast Television on a whim (Ask Kevin and Dina Cue – MP3, 0:24, 754KB). Well, I’ll be damned if they didn’t actually like it, and now they want to use it.
The song is the result of about an hour tinkering around in my new studio one morning. In retrospect, I could likely do a much more polished job if I spent a few more hours redoing a few elements, but it looks like I’m committed to it as is and will have to get used to the fact that thousands of people will be waking up to my squeaky little voice once in a while.
Details are sketchy at best right now, but they want me to be at their studios on Queen West next Wednesday morning (July 23) at 7 AM so they can officially launch the new tune.
That’s all I know for now. More details as they develop. And if anyone knows how to capture video and all that jazz, I’d love to embed a vid of occasion in this blog, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
