Freshmade Music and A Fresh Pair of Undies (Just In Time For The Holidays!)

Jerome Rossen's Freshmade Music has once again partnered with New York’s SS+K communications agency, this time to provide the musical soundtrack while a beautiful model slowly undresses to show off really gross underwear.  She’s urging men to upgrade their underwear.

Local SF Bay-Area jazz fans may recognize the sounds of Tom Griesser’s tenor saxophone.

You can see the spot at any of these outlets:

Collaborating With First Graders!

In the Spring, I worked with 80 kids in the first grade, from Tam Valley Elementary in Mill Valley to write five songs based on character traits that the school promotes.

Here is a page with a rough live recording, lyric pages and sheet music.

Politics 101: Can stalling and answering questions with other questions be a successful strategy for you?

Have you ever stopped to wonder why politicians incorporate the strange practice of asking themselves questions, then answering them? I have. Have you noticed that some of these questions seem rhetorical, but they answer them anyway? Yes, they do. Have you ever stopped to realize that these politicians are saying a lot of words, and they make it seem like they are really trying to answer questions truthfully, but are really just talking, and talking without saying anything at all, and continuing on, and on without end and they might even sound sincere with their device of asking a different question, in order to avoid answering the first question, until you realize you don’t remember what they start answering, or asking in the first place, and you wish you hadn't even asked anything? Sorry, what was the question again?
