World's Fastest Songwriter

It’s official!

I am now the world’s record holder for the fastest songwriter!

I wrote a theme song for Fran Capo, The Guiness Book of World Records holder for Fastest Talking Female as well as Deepest Book signing and Highest book signing.

I talked to Fran for about a half an hour on the phone. About 30 minutes later I’d written her theme song, “Adventure Girl”. A few hours later I recorded it with my friend Joe Mennonna and it was on it’s way to being played on national radio. So in less than 24 hours it went from concept to creation to broadcast.

Even Fran was impressed. So she submitted my song to Record Holders Republic who officially recognized it just this past week! Check out my world record!

Co-incidentally (BTW there ARE no coincidences!) I will be taping an episode of Fran Capo’s new TV show tomorrow. I’ll let you know when it will be aired.

While I’m at the taping tuesday am 3/24/09, my friend Joe Mennonna will be on the View as part of Kevin Bacon’s band.  Without Joe’s being available for an instant recording session I wouldn’t be the fabulous world record holder that I am now ;o).

I want to thank Fran Capo, Joe Mennonna, all my fans, my mom and dad, my sister Lynn, my high school band teacher, Ernie Schefflein, my piano teacher Marcia Slater, my 4th grad teacher….
:o )

Here’s the song:




Adventure Girl – Fran Capo Theme Song 12/12/08 Song #390

Adventure girl
Explore your world
Live it fast
And make it last
Live it bright
And make it light
Adventure girl
Explore your world

Fast talking not afraid of walking
Or ashamed of asking questions
Living life relentlessly and
Open to the power of suggestion

Record breaking motivation concentration
Education passion
Rapid fire rhyming and you
Know that everything is in the timing

Adventure girl
Explore your world
Look alive
Get outside
Learn to climb
Learn to dive
Adventure girl
Explore your world

Inspiration, perspiration,
Guinness book of records domination
Collaboration, exploration
Burning hope for future generations

Fast talking not afraid of walking
Or ashamed of asking questions
Living life relentlessly and
Open to the power of suggestion

Adventure girl
Explore your world
Relentless love
To climb above
Relentless thirst
To be the first
Adventure girl
Explore your world

Persistence, persistence, persistence, persistence, persistence

Adventure Girl: The Fran Capo Theme Song

You've Got To Hear The Story Behind This Song!

She's the Guinness Book of World Records " Fastest Talking Female."  She also holds the record for the deepest book signing (at the Titanic) and the highest book signing (Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa). Fran Capo is an amazing dynamo of "can do it" in a world full of people saying "it's impossible".

I was introduced to Fran by Kathy McAfee who's Marketing Motivation seminar inspired me to write a theme song. Well, if you've been following my blog at all, you'll know that last week I posted a music video of the song "Motivation" that I wrote for Kathy.

Fran Capo is on Kathy McAfee's e-mail list and she watched the video and started thinking about how cool it would be to have her own theme song...

So after checking out Fran's site: www.FranCapo.com I was pretty impressed. This is a woman who really and truly lives!

While I was checking out her website, I got that little chime that tells me I've gotten an email. It was Fran! So I emailed her back and then just hauled off and picked up that old fashioned thing...the PHONE!

We actually tawked person to person! It was a modern day miracle. :o ) ( I mean, have YOU tried to get anybody on the phone lately?)

Anyway, so we talked about her essence and her vision and her philosphy...and I started to feel the old familiar feeling.....

so I got off the phone and I wrote the song in a veryveryveryshorttime!

I called her back to let her know the song was done. Even Fran Capo the worlds fastest talking woman was impressed. She thought I was just calling back to get the info she had promised to e-mail me. Nope. The song was done.

So then I called my recording genius Joe Mennonna up and asked him what his availability was for recording and arranging the song...unfortunately he was getting ready to go out of town for a month to perform with the Kevin Bacon Band but he said, "if you can get by with an acoustic version we could record it this afternoon. to produce it with a full drum set would be too involved and take too long, but I could squeeze youin for a couple of hours and we can get something done."

so I jumped in the car yesterday afternoon and for once I-95 was flowing in the direction I wanted to go.

Boom! Recorded it.  Fran will be using it in all of her radio and TV appearances like now!

listen in for yourself!
