I don’t normally use my blog to plug any products or services. However, today, I am making an exception.

A couple of years ago, I was looking for an unique gift for TPKen. TPKen is sooooo hard to buy for and has that “man tendency” to go out and buy what he wants when he wants it. It doesn’t matter if  it’s 2 weeks before Christmas and we are all scratching our heads trying to come up with a gift for him. Instead of giving us gift ideas, he goes out and buys whatever his whim/need/want is at the time. This really pisses me off! I consider it a very selfish thing to do and have told him so on more than one occasion.

Anyway, back to the unique gift. One day I was surfing eBay and was looking in the “Everything Else” category trying to come up with something that TPKen didn’t already own. Now, before you get the wrong idea that I am just a very thoughtful person, let me tell you that I do have some hidden motive involved in the selection of TPK’s gifts. I WANT some GOOD STUFF, too!

Who wouldn’t want to open a present with this…. or maybe, some….???

To be truthful, TPK is generous when it comes to the $$$$$ in giving presents. And, I want to make sure that it stays that way! Get my drift?  “wink wink to the ladies”

While going thru the list of “everything else” stuff such as penis enlargers, secrets to make thousands of dollars a day working from home, and authentic alien corpse, I happened upon an ad that really caught my attention. It was an ad to put your poem or words to music. In other words, create your own song. A guy was offering all of this (plus the copyright) up for auction. So, I figured this was something really different and would be something that showed that I had really put some thought into the gift. I bid and won!  Thus began my relationship with Crazy Dave.

The first song was about TPKen going boar hunting. I sent Dave the details about the crazy boar hunting trip thru email and he came up with this:

I LOVED IT!  …..”gonna shoot a boar in the butt with a gun”. FUNNY!

Crazy Dave sent me the song on a CD with the lyrics and he sent is really fast. He wanted to make sure that I got it in time for Christmas.

A couple of months later, it was TPSkipper’s birthday and once again, I turned to Crazy Dave. I sent him a short story about her. Ya see…TPSkipper is a really good singer. I’m not just saying that because I gave birth to her. She is locally reknown for singing at weddings, funerals, and other gatherings. She gets paid pretty good money for her talent. BUT, unfortunately, TPSkipper has NO athletic skills as you will hear if you listen to the video….

My relationship with Crazy Dave didn’t end there. He did a hauntingly beautiful song to which I wrote the lyrics. However, this song is extremely personal and is not on youtube. I can tell you, though, that every time I listen to it, I get very emotional. His guitar licks on it are on par with just about any well known guitarist that you can think of.

Crazy Dave gave up this side business for a while. But, good news….he’s back at it. So, if any of you are looking for a gift to amuse, touch the heart, get your message across to somebody, or just would like to have a song of your own recorderd, here is the link to Crazy Dave.  On this particular auction, Dave is offering to do a Micahel Jackson song for ya. But, you can go over to the side where it says, “Ask the seller a question” and request another song.

Crazy Dave  is a really nice guy and works hard to please everyone that he deals with. So, come on….give him a chance. What an opportunity for you guys (or girls) to put how you feel about somebody to music. Whether you have unrequieted love (Yes, Stan…I know that you are dying to do a song for me) or want to poke innocent fun, Dave can do it for you.

ROCK ON, DAVE!
