It's been awhile...but have I got some news!

Oh, howdy! Are you still there? I admit that its been a quick second since I spoke to y'all last. In fact, this is probably the longest I've gone without blogging since this blog started! Zoinks!

There's actually a really good reason why I haven't been blogging. It involves a camping trip that lead to a Sasquatch sighting in Arkansas which ended up with yours truly coming to blows with ol Squatch. Long story short, the hospital bills were quite shocking, but thankfully my Bigfooted friend has great insurance. Doctor said he'd be his old self by May 2024.

Don't believe me? Ok...would you believe that the reason I've not been blogging is because of all the media attention I got when I discovered Atlantis? It could've happened to anybody, really. I was just sailing the high seas in my trusty ship, The Soggy Biscuit, when suddenly the creatures of the sea told me that I was sailing right over the heads of the Atlantisians who had congregated to celebrate High Tide (their Fourth of July apparently).

Not buying that either, huh?
How about my computer was stomped to pieces by the last living dinosaur while I was exploring the Congo?
Would you believe my girlfriend's dogs ate my blog?
How about I was busy raising four mutant turtles in a sewer pipe and it took me awhile to teach them martial arts?

Eh, why make excuses. Life got in the way. I'm sure you can empathize perhaps a little. Perhaps you can't and I'm just hoping you can. 

But anyway, life is like that. Life is like a river. It rushes along, carrying everything it can pick up in its path. It turns this way, then that way, it goes up and down, turns over on itself, and boats sometimes float on it, and cows drink from it, and I think I've lost my metaphor now...

Well anyway I'm back now. I come bearing gifts! Not only have I been chipmunking many videos that need to be released to my YouTube channel, I have been tirelessly working on another little project you might like.

That's right. A new project I'm SO STOKED to tell you about.

Mark your calendars for October 11th, for that is the day my very first single is going to be released everywhere music streams!

I write funny songs all the time. Sometimes one might make it to my YouTube. But this one is lucky.

My new single is a countrified cautionary tale about the origin of Pumpkin Spice. Many of y'all know my co-writer as the ever-hilarious and wildly talented Pearl Haining from the Branson-based, all-sibling musical ensemble, The Hainings.

Knowing a song of this caliber couldn't just collect dust on the shelf, I called my good friend and full-time Floridian, Dana Philip Emmette, master of the recording studio, Mayor of the City of Groove. He helped me out by recording many of the instruments you'll hear and mixing and mastering the whole project.

My first single, y'all. My comedy-music debut! It actually is happening. Please follow my Facebook page The Real Mark Wimberley for updates on this project as Oct 11 draws near.
