At about the time his daughter turned five, a buddy of mine started telling her goodnight stories. Except, this guy grew up reading comic books, so his idea of telling goodnight stories was to tell her the story of Darth Vader, and of Superman. There was something about that that I thought was so funny, and kind of touching too. So that eventually turned into this song.
This new version of the song is probably the last one until the cd. This has drums and upright bass and is closer to my overall concept for the song. Some great energy provided by Scott Townsend on drums and Chris Gustafson on upright bass. Previous versions of the song can be found in the Bone Yard.

As a father of 3 boys under the age of 6, I am well acquainted with the odd stories that spew from my mouth regarding a whole kaleidescope of sci-fi and comic book nerd-dom. What I never considered however was how touching these stories might actually be until I heard your song. I am still in awe of being a father and astounded by the little independent people my kids are becoming. Thank you for immortalizing that in a song.

Hey Curt, you should consider putting the Yahoo Media Player on your Songs page. It will conveniently put all your songs into a playable playlist. It's just one line of Javascript, see http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/ (no, I don't work for Yahoo, I just like playlists!)
