One of the first solo acoustic songs I ever recorded was called “Do You Wanna Dance”, originally released as a single by Bobby Freeman from 1958 (backed with “Big Fat Woman”). I listened to both songs often as a small child as my mom had the 45 (you can get a copy of the classic 45 here if you’re interested).

There is a Myspace page for Bobby Freeman’s recent album, also called Do You Wanna Dance (Rhino) which includes both songs.
I originally included my version of “Do You Wanna Dance” on my very first solo acoustic CD as a bonus track for my friends. The song was also covered by Del Shannon, The Beach Boys, Bette Midler, John Lennon, Cliff Richard, The Ramones and The Mamas & The Papas.
I just posted the song on my Secret Covers page. If you want access to it, and over 25 other free downloads, go to my website and sign up for the email list.

Some crazy French guy created this video to my song “Red Cheer”. I wrote the song in the Fall of 2008 in response to not liking the AC/DC single “Rock n’ Roll Train” when it was first posted to their Myspace page (I’ve since decided it’s a great song). I figured I’d try my hand at an AC/DC song since they clearly forgot how to do it.
All the best AC/DC songs are about sexy women, so the first thing I needed was a subject. It took me about 30 seconds to decide who that woman should be, since John McCain had just selected Sarah Palin to be his running mate and she was all over the media.

John Dissed – \”Red Cheer\”
About a year later I read an excerpt from Palin’s interview in Runner’s World Magazine where she said she loves to listen to old AC/DC on her iPod when she runs. It’s funny to me how appropriate it all turned out to be.
Oh, and I actually sampled the bell from “Hell’s Bell’s” as the church bell in the song.
(Thanks to Oussama Brahimi for creating the video)

Before their collaboration on Furtney’s 2010 New Terminal Hotel, back in 2004 the core team of writer-director BC Furtney, director of photography Nickolas Rossi, composer Trevin Pinto and actress Laura Leigh worked together for the first time to create the prize-winning, sexy-bloody murder mystery Mister Eryams. On Eryams’ heels came Disposer and Perfect, both starring Leigh in leading roles. Two later shorts fill out a new DVD collection now available on Amazon.com (Culinary Art and Voices).
Order your copy of The Short Films of BC Furtney here for only $9.99.

(this was buried deep in a database at my work, I’m not sure who to credit with writing it)
Rocky is at a charity arm wrestling event in New York and before the big championship, Rocky is kidnapped by an Iraqi terrorist loyal to Osama bin Laden.

Being on US soil, the government can not use the CIA or illegal tactics, so a secret branch of the government hires Ex-Special OPS soldier Rambo to bring back Rocky or kill all the terrorists involved. As Rambo arrives at JFK airport he is befriended by a New York Cabby who knows this Urban Jungle played by Mr. T:
Mr T.: “I know Rocky foo! I hope you DO find him so I can knock him out AGAIN Sucka!”
Rambo: “Whoa, hey settle down big guy…this is much bigger than some boxing match”
Mr T.: “Quit yo jibber-jabber, ain’t nothing more important than a boxing match! It’s my life…my pleasure!”
Rambo: “Uh, maybe this will make you reconsider” (Rambo pulls out a handful of bling)…”I got this on a job I did for Liberace”
Mr T.: “Now you’re speaking my language foo, tell me more about this Arm Wrestling event kidnapping…”
Mr T: I pity the fool who goes out tryin’ a’ take over da world, then runs home cryin’ to his momma!
Rambo: Pain is my friend, I love it when a plan comes together.
to be continued…
