A Frog Named Sam - Ben Rudnick & Friends

[wingman572]

@BenRudnickAndFriends- hey ya ever hear of a pigtronix board, you could actually make some 'bullfrog' sounds with the guitar, pretty much the way the dead do in various songs

[BenRudnickAndFriends]

@wingman572 - just checked that out! The Pigtronix EP looks like something to play with for sure. On my acoustic board I have an old MXR envelope. The electric board recently had a Malekko that broke and should arrive back fixed. I like the Malekko since it's so small and light, not building heavy like the MuTron but still... the Pig EP looks cool. The video I saw on youTube had Bob playing the Pigtronix board through, I think, a sweet looking Collings hollow electric. Class A beautiful guitar!

[wingman572]

@BenRudnickAndFriends- i'll will certainly do that, and if and when you perform this live throw in some of those jerry sounding bubbles. i'm glad the new riders got back together, miss marmaduke, but we got david nelson

[BenRudnickAndFriends]

@wingman572 - cool. I throw those bubbles every chance I get to the best of my ability! -- RE: Nelson... I recently got a bender for my Tele. I'm hoping to dig into that very soon.  Be well.

[wingman572]

i think jerry garcia (if still here) and bob weir would love this

[BenRudnickAndFriends]

@wingman572 - yes. I'm proud to say they've informed my point of view in a big way. I'm a soft sell but... we've got quite a bit of music that fits the mold of bob/jerry or jerry+ but is an original perspective. We have Buddy Cage on a couple of tracks from our Grace's Bell disc too. Really adds some of that Riders flavor as well. Check out "Cowgirl Song" and "Chet's Fabulous Diner."

[wingman572]

even though this is technically a kids song, i'm 47 and i dig it

[daveyuke8]

Can not get this song out of my head what a great tag! Love it

[BenRudnickAndFriends]

@daveyuke8 - Thanks for the kind words! We do appreciate it.

[cholt68]

[justapril09]

We LOVE this song, and look forward to getting more familiar with you guys! My husband and I have finally found a kids song that we don't mind having stuck in our heads ..LOL! We found this On Demand under Kidz Bop for Preschoolers, and our kids who are almost 2 and almost 4, will request it over and over! In fact, I just got caught commenting on this, and now I have to play it again. Dancing, here we come!!!

[BenRudnickAndFriends]

Well... our plan of global family dancing is clearly working. (cue fake sinister laugh) Welcome to our world! If you're interested in "more" We have seven CDs in total and I recommend them all. Dance on!

[Ghatescinnamon7]

I always hear this song in my head, cuz I like it! Great Video.

[Ghatescinnamon7]

I love this song! It comes on "kids place live" almost everyday, and I always sing along. Great vid!

[PhoebeBrowning]

Heard this on Toddler Tunes on Comcast and immediately Googled - love this! Now this is a children's show I can dig with my two-year-old!

[smileifulovemebaby]

Heh, my name's Sam. I feel like this was dedicated for me... too bad I've grown out of the age when I was completely enamored by something with my name in it. Still, this is a great song, I gotta show this to my baby cousin.

[BenRudnickAndFriends]

Cool deal Sam! Spread the word!

[4myapproval]

We went to the show yesterday at World Cafe Live in Phila. The kids had a GREAT time and the guys put on an AWESOME show. If you have a chance, bring the kids to see them, they'll dance the whole time! Great job guys!
