Danny Kaye''s recording of Mommy, Gimme a Drinka Water!
Music and Lyrics by Milton Schafer had a profound musical effect on me in 1958 when I was a wee lad of six. The sound of him singing with the orchestra helped shape my whole way of hearing music. I had found the sheet music book at a garage sale in San Francisco, and I had many times thought about doing a version of it. The sheet music was pretty useless, so I just used my ears and rebuilt the work from scratch while learning how to use a sequencer, computer, and all that modern stuff. I basically used just one sound source: an Emu Proteus2XR Orchestral Module (This was 1996). Then, I overdubbed real Trumpets, Drums, some Percussion, etc. and then, went to a "real" studio to add the vocals. Because of the brevity of the material, I came up with the idea of having the music tracks come after the vocals, so now, one can either listen, or sing along! I hope you enjoy this musical masterpiece by this great composer.
This recording is dedicated to the memory of Dorothy Rosengarden (my Mommy).
