Album Notes

WELL, IT HAD TO HAPPEN... Singing, dancing Lobsters. Well, they're NOT EXACTLY LOBSTERS (but they manage in a PINCH®. . .)

The LOBSTERS sing COUNTRY and ROCK and WHATEVER ELSE IS LYING AROUND THE HOUSE.......Backed by musicians from Willie Nelson and Robbie Robertson's bands, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and a nice guy who wandered into the studio and said he was a kazoo virtuoso and he would play for free.

LYRICS and MUSIC are written by JONAS THALER and BLAISE SMITH.....Blaise Smith is co-writer of the theme music for the hit TV show "Spongebob Squarepants." ... Riding the crest of a twenty-year plus career as a composer he has also scored films and you have probably heard his work on TV commercials for clients like Nike, SONY, Nintendo and more.....He's a guitarist and electronic sound magician....Jonas is some kind of middle-management schmo in the film business.....You've seen his name on movies like Amadeus, Empire Strikes Back, and the new Lord Of The Rings films.....But who cares about that? He writes clever lyrics and....HE PLAYS THE ACCORDION!....(Don't get too excited, that's on the NEXT album!)

"Magnificent lyrics!" --Michael Big Dolphin Nooney

"Fabulous arrangements!" --Steven Reich (the writer, not the composer)

"The next Andrew Lloyd Webber! (hey, wasn't he the guy who invented the barbecue? )" -...I forget who said that

"The girls danced around the room immediately, and they hate everything!" --My neighbor who has two little kids

"Why don't you get a job?" --My Dad ("I have a job!" --me)
