Mark's Musings: 07-14-2007 — Throwing Some Toasters with Grant Baciocco

At GalactiCon '07, attendees were treated to a first in convention history – a concert by not just a comedy musician, but a comedy musician who plays Champions of the Galaxy and has written songs based specifically on GWF characters.  Grant Baciocco is the Everyman of Throwing Toasters, the guy who comes up with the music and the words, and often the only person playing and singing them.  He's just released Songs in the Key of GWF (available at www.filsingergames.com/home.htm), a must-have for any fan of the game who also enjoys laughing about something that the general public has no clue about.  This interview was conducted on the second day of the convention, and in it, Grant talks about his inspirations, what it's like to turn a character into a song, and his playing of the game over the years.  Listen, learn, and (if you haven't already), go buy every Throwing Toasters CD you can get your hands on.  Just don't be surprised if you do indeed laugh your a** off.  Consider yourself warned!

Running time: about 24 minutes.
