Weird Al Yankovic Contributes Rare Track To Laughter Is A Powerful Weapon Vol. 2 - Hurricane Relief Charity CD
International comedy music Super-Star, Weird Al Yankovic will lend the rare Placebo Records version of his song HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Laughter Is A Powerful Weapon Vol. 2. 100% of the profits of the CD will go to the American Red Cross to aid in relief for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Grant Baciocco, who is co-producing the CD along with Jaye Prior, is excited to have Weird Al aboard. We have an incredible line-up of funny musicians on this CD, says Baciocco, With the addition of Weird Al, this truly makes it a CD of the very best in Comedy Music.
Joining Al on the CD his drummer, Jon Bermuda Schwartz, with his newly remixed version of MR. GHOST GOES TO TOWN and comedy music legends Barnes & Barnes (writers of the song FISH HEADS) with the unreleased song GRANNY & THE KID. The CD will also include a special written introduction by legendary DJ Dr. Demento. Other comedy music stars on the CD will include Steven Banks, Carla Ulbrich, Rob Paravonian, Barry & The Bookbinders and the great Luke Ski. Also included will be an exclusive episode of the popular Podcast, The Radio Adventures Of Dr. Floyd. There will be a limited pressing of only 1,000 of these CDs.
Funny musicians For A Serious cause began in the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001. In the weeks that followed there didnt seem to be much room for laughter in this nation. Grant Baciocco, along with fellow funny music maker Chris Mezzolesta, decided that they could use their talents and create a Funny Music Compilation CD to benefit a charity related to the tragic events. The first Laughter Is A Powerful Weapon CD raised close to $2000 for the Twin Towers Orphan Fund and continues to make money for the charity today.
Laughter Is A Powerful Weapon Vol. 2 will be available through the groups website - http://www.FunnyMusicians.com - and is scheduled for release in mid-November. The first volume of Laughter Is A Powerful Weapon is also available at the website.

I'm VERY impressed by the quality!
It's too bad the cd doesn't come out before Halloween. Mr. Ghost Goes to Town is so perfect for that! But, I'll patiently wait until November for it.
