So I stumbled across an ad on Craigslist the other day:

Television Production in development, in conjunction with a National Broadcaster, is looking for Songwriters to perform an original song they are looking to license – great opportunity for exposure and potential for the song to get recorded!

This morning I set aside a little time to record & submit a YouTube video fitting all the necessary requirements (see above).

Back-up of “Viewer Mail Cue” found in old pile of discs

Last Wednesday at the highly ungodly hour of 5:30 in the morning, I got a call from Kevin Forget, producer of CityTV’s Breakfast Television (BT). Since I was scheduled to be on the show that morning, I feared he was calling at the last minute possible to cancel.

Evidently I’m Beatlesque

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.

BT

I’ll be on BT this Wednesday morning!

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.

BT Update

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.
