A New Song

.
.
.
I'd like to present a new song, produced by myself and Will Jenkins, the composer for Inspector McCloud's Stormwater Adventures.

This little ditty, called "The Republic of the Rio Grande", was inspired by the history behind the Texas/Mexico border towns, the culture that links all of these regions, and the need to unite in the protection of their most important natural resource.


This version of the song, which will play during the closing credits for Inspector McCloud's Stormwater Adventures, features samples from the show, and is voiced by Stephen Grillo as the character of the Narrator. There were incredible contributions from several other musicians as well, all of whom will be credited in the final piece.

The original Republic of the Rio Grande was an actual nation located in a disputed zone between Mexico and texas back in 1839. The country lasted less than 200 days, and was governed from Laredo.


To learn more about it (its actually a fascinating history) visit The Republic of the Rio Grande Museum website and take the tour. Nice folks there!

Look who's back from the dead! Mr. Flinch himself! I was starting to miss you.

That was one awesome song, catchy, too. I've never felt prouder of being a Mexican. Oh wait, I'm Puerto Rican! Whoops!

Anyway, thanks for sharing that with your readers, Tony.

It's got a great beat, and you can haul toxic waste out of a river to it, too! Great job guys! Flinch... the new Kings of Pop!
