G G and Tommy Vegas are thrilled to release their new song online, "Fat Teddy." I't is now available on iTunes, Amazon and eMusic.

Tommy graduated from Cranford High School, located in Cranford, NJ, in 1971. A member of his high school alumni committee asked Tommy if he could write a "sing-along" type reunion song for the attending alumni. Tommy emailed that he would do so.

Soon after, Tommy regretted this reply. All the songs Tommy had written before were about topics that came into his mind. This was the first time he tried writing a song about a topic not of his own choosing. Tommy at first had no idea where to even start. Happily Michael Appello, a close friend of Tommy's, told him what an honor it was to be asked to write such a song. This inspired Tommy to take on the challenge.

Soon therewafter, Tommy was attending a 4th of July party at a friend's house. The next day, as Tommy sat in the gazebo with coffee and a bagel, ideas for the song started dancing in his heads. About 48 minutes later, he had the first verse and chorus for the song. Tommy was relieved to have completed the song- or so he thought!

Three weeks later, at a rehearsal with New Wrecking Crew Band, Tommy sang the song to GG and his wife Terri. They liked the song but felt it needed another verse. Tommy didn't like the idea - he thought the song was done and wanted to keep it that way - enough was enough. Then Terri said the magic words - "One verse isn't enough, I want to hear more of what you have to say." These words struck Tommy as a sincere request from a loyal fan. "She said the right words," Tommy said later." It encouraged me to add a verse. The thought that a fan wanted to hear more of what I had to say inspired me to revisit the song."

About a week later while driving in his car, the ideas and lyrics for the second verse popped into his head. He pulled over to the side of the road, wrote down the lyrics, and continued on his way. It was twenty minutes well-spent.

Later in the studio, while working on other projects with GG, Tommy sang him the completed second verse. George liked it, and went to work on production of the song. Playing all the instruments himself, George put together the musical track that Tommy sang to at the reunion. His performance was a big hit with his classmates, not mention an honor and thrill for Tommy!

The completed track will soon be released on iTunes, with proceeds going to Cranford Cares Charities.

In addition to our imminent release of "Fat Teddy" on iTunes, we will also be offering a limited edition CD with both "Everybody Loves the Hit King" and "Fat Teddy" in Cooperstown this weekend.

GG and Tommy Vegas and the New Wrecking Crew have been rehearsing. Happily, most of "The Usual Suspects" are able to make the trip with us, although of course we wish they all could. It was interesting in that the band members had never met each other before, coming into the studio on separate days before now. Happily, they are all talented musicians and great people and the rehearsals went swimmingly! Here is a picture of the "Cooperstown Edition" of our small but loyal crew.

George and Tommy are looking forward to imminent release of their second song, "Fat Teddy." The anticipated release date for this swingin' tune is on or around July 15, 2011.

"Everybody Loves the Hit King" is getting some nice airplay on Country radio nationwise. We've had reports we've been played on Sirius Country 350 and several other stations all over the country.

George and Tommy are really psyched as "Everybody Loves the Hit King" is catching on and getting played on different radio stations. We're trying real hard to get the song out there! ESPN played it last week on their "Gridlock" radio show and we hope to have it played on AM 1100 in Las Vegas this week! We also have several pending TV and radio appearances in the works, so stay tuned!

We're thrilled to be releasing our first song, "Everybody Loves the Hit King" in conjunction with Pete Rose's 70th birthday. The great Pete Rose's illustrious accomplishments on the field include 4,256 careeer hits and over twenty other MLB records. Though Pete retired from playing in 1986, many of them still stand! Pete's been away from the game he loves since 1989 and we feel that's much too long! He should be reinstated and put n the Hall of Fame where he belongs. Tommy and I wrote this song to tell the world that it's long overdue!

One of the things Tommy and I like to do in our songwriting is tell a good story. Being a true Vegas guy, Tommy has a million of them and knows many colorful characters. As time goes on we'll be releaseing songs about more of them! This song is about a character Tommy knows from Vegas, as are many of the songs we write. He's a guy who loves to drink too much and winds up getting into all kinds of misadventures. I'm sure most people know a guy like him!
