A Powerful Weapon Vol. 2 - Hurricane Relief Charity 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.

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
didn't 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 group's 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.
