I Was Writing A Musical (2014)
 
This is the third (though incomplete) album of the Grand Insignificance Trilogy, which in its entirety includes The Grand Insignificance, Painfully Lame, and I Was Writing A Musical.  It features a bevy of characters in a relatively plausible premise with a predictable ending which I didn't bother finishing once I knew where it was going.  But there are a few plot points that I know about that don't appear on this recording, and perhaps someone someday might want to know what they are.  In short, Barry Schmaltz will pitch the "I'm Going To Write A Musical" motif to Charlotte Lamprey and Fred Skippy, and everyone moves to New York except Downbeat the bass player and the snooty Trombone Guy, who remain to play their songs on the street. Our Humble Narrator joins them in the end, picking up the discarded banjo of a character who never actually appears in the script, the Banjo Guy, who is heard playing in the opening number with Our Humble Narrator and Fred Skippy.  This script unifies many of the various characters that have plagued my music lo these many years.
