About Me |
|
| Hello, I'm Doctor Sparkles. I sing and play a few instruments, my favorite being the ukulele, and host a monthly ukulele cabaret open mic in San Francisco called the Jumping Flea Circus . I'm prone to thinking re-creatively , and given that is against my religion to take anything seriously, not the least of which my religion, I am a bit silly. I've recorded a few albums on my ukuleles, the first of which, Sail Away , won a few awards . One reviewer called it a " pseudo-psychedelic , island breezy , folky , Latin influenced ferris wheel ride for the child within ." I've been told that it's difficult to be sullen while listening to Sail Away . I wonder how people will react to my new album of uke-centric swing music, "Monkey Swing Monkey Doo", currently being mixed and mastered. I'll be posting some of its songs soon. I would very much like to thank all the folks who share my music on their MySpace profile. If you had a Doctor Sparkles song as your MySpace profile song and it has been deleted, CLICK HERE , you just might be able to reload it from the not-so-mutually-exclusive however redundant " DOC SPARKLES " page. Sail Away is available for purchase online through CD Baby , eFolkMusic & Elderly Music . The entire album or any number of its individual selections can be downloaded in MP3 format through iTunes and eFolkMusic , and the Snowcap player below... |
