A great pair of songs for your Thanksgiving meal inspired by the amazing Harry Nilsson: "Let The Good Times Roll" and "Gotta Get Up" which was written by Harry and performed by Stec Records recording artist Bob Sellon and friends at the 2015 music series.
Said Bob "Yeah, it's amazing that we were able to have another copy of myself there to sing the harmony parts. You couldn't see him,..me, because like Jim Fabiano who played bass guitar, the other me was invisible. No, really. ". Oh? "We'd NEVER, ever, ever, ever alter an historical recording such as this..unless it made it sound better. ". Sellon would not divulge the technology used clone and cloak himself and a bass playing friend except to say that it had something to do with computers. Onlookers could not believe their eyes.

StecRecords.com is pleased to announce weekly releases from the No Muse Is Bad News archives running from October through the end of 2024 featuring unreleased performances by our own Bob Sellon in a rare series of piano performances recorded in 2015.
The series begins with the song that started the project rolling: Political Science. "I hadn't played Political Science in a while and went back to this live recording to see how I was playing it and was surprised that it was actually a pretty good take. I could think of at least two people who would like to hear it so I figured I'd ante up for the mechanical license and put it out but found over 20 other songs that were worth putting out as well. Sometimes it takes a few years to appreciate what you've done I guess. " - Bob
The satirical Political Science was, of course, written by the wonderful Randy Newman rendered by the tragically untrained "pianist" Bob but sure to make you smile (and maybe not be inclined to bomb other countries to solve problems).
Brighter Than Sunshine is a silly love song but Bob kicks it out a little bit on vocals. Like most of the releases to come, this is a stark recording of Bob singing and playing the piano [keyboards] before a small audience. Enjoy!
