Unreleased Volume 2
About the Album
A Front Row Seat to a 2nd Life included Unreleased Volume 2, which had 3 additional tracks including The Pink Cliffs of Li Galli (Piano Version), Secret Millionaire (Piano Version), and The Heckler.
I originally wrote Your #1 Fan long before I discovered 'Heckle Fish'. It wasn't until I was in the recording phase that I discovered this piece of genius. The celebrity fish brought me many laughs and the timing was uncanny. How could I not reference him? Instead of reworking Your #1 Fan, I decided to create a new version of the song that has a little more attitude and includes a new second verse, second chorus, and bridge.
The Heckler was born.
R.E.M. had 7 Chinese Brothers along with Voice of Harold. Similarly, I present to you, Your #1 Fan and The Heckler.

The Heckler (lyrics)
[verse 1 same as Your #1 Fan]
[chorus 1 same as Your #1 Fan]
saw a fella named hecklefish
a celebrity a-list
about the size of my left fist
i wish there were more of him
so i looked him up in public records
a friend with a past that is checkered
listened to the host and then i heard
he's got some ex-wives with some guppiesonce saw that fish fly an airplane
high-altitude fish, that's insane
who'd chase a fish with that name?<alternate bridge>
[verse 3 same as Your #1 Fan]
[chorus 3 same as Your #1 Fan]
