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.
