Backing track partly done in Noteworthy Computer, the rest from Pocket Songs Karaoke, purchased on iTunes. Original song written by The Beatles, arrangement partly from the film I Am Sam.
----- Birch gets saddled into giving music lessons.
----- Determining how Wally meets Birch took some doing. Birch would obviously not take on music lessons willingly, since he was not hurting for money, and he would not want to be exposed to younger cubs in situations where they would be alone. I decided to have Wally be a piano protege because I did not want to fall into the trap of making everyone an accomplished singer. Also, Scatterpaws singing voice is not the best, so I would not be able to easily convince the audience that Birch was impressed with it. So, we went with the piano idea. Finding midi piano versions of Barbara Ann and Suite Judy Blue Eyes simply was a matter of changing instrumentation.
In decided to do this as a reprise, was because Scatterpaws requested to be able to do it, but I wanted it to be a thoroughly different version than the original. This version fit the bill, nicely.
