Jimmy Thudpucker - Real World Recordings

Real World Recordings

In a real-world crossover, Trudeau has twice arranged for Thudpucker's "music" to be recorded. James Allen Brewer, an actor ("Ryan and Sean's Not So Excellent Adventure"), producer ("Simply Sondheim - A 75th Birthday Salute"), and singer/songwriter co-wrote and sang, in character, on the single "Ginny's Song," released by Warner Bros. He also performed on the LP Jimmy Thudpucker's Greatest Hits, released by Windsong Records, which featured songs from the Academy Award-nominated A Doonesbury Special (1977), which also won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Famous quotes containing the words real, world and/or recordings:

    Unbreachable the fort
    Of the long-batter’d world uplifts its wall;
    And strange and vain the earthly turmoil grows,
    And near and real the charm of thy repose,
    And night as welcome as a friend would fall.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    All the intelligence and talent in the world can’t make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can’t be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    All radio is dead. Which means that these tape recordings I’m making are for the sake of future history. If any.
    Barré Lyndon (1896–1972)
