In 2006, I wrote and recorded a song that I absolutely loved called "A Rabbit for Halloween". It told the story of Bugs Bunny and Witch Hazel in the episode "Broom-Stick Bunny". I loved the song so much, in fact, that I tried to sneak it on to my new album, A Tribute to Love. But everyone who listened to the album said the same thing, "It doesn't fit." They were right.

Now another Halloween is coming and I was really hoping to release this song on a CD. But I don't have one coming out any time soon. So I decided to release a single.

In the music business a "single" signifies one to three songs on a recording. So I thought I would package this single with two other like-minded songs I've written. One was inspired by the movie Stardust, and the other was inspired by a television show Firefly. I packaged them all together and decided to release a themed single called Three Movie and TV Songs for Geeks Like Me.

Track Listing:

   1. A Rabbit for Halloween (Bugs Bunny and Witch Hazel)
   2. Stardust Serenade (Stardust movie)
   3. She Said Her Name Was Saffron (Firefly)

I have listened to all three songs on  this new album  (or "promotional Three-Song-EP" maybe ?) and they're pretty good, though I must admit I had no idea what the songs had to do with movies and television untill I saw Marc's posting above.
"Starlight Serenade" is an incredbile instrumental with perhaps some of the most interesting autorharp playing I've ever heard, "A Rabbit For Halloween" is a great tune for the holiday, complete with a minor key and echo-y vocals,  and "She Said her Name was Saffron" will definately get airtime on my Valentine's Day Show come February.....as well as all year round 'cause I mean, come on....you just can't play Marc Gunn every once and a while....Nagians everywhere know this, am I right or am I right?

I knew what the inspiration for 'A Rabbit for Halloween' was the the first time I heard it. Love it. Get it stuck in my head every time I listen to it.

Yeah, I still love "Rabbit....." even though Halloween is over for this year. The Samhainn still lives on, I guess. Cheesy
