Holycow! nominated for Emmy by National Academy of Television in production with NH Public Television...

I am honored to learn that one of my digital compositions, “Making New Friends” created for Plymouth State University’s TIGER (Theater Integrating Guidance, Education, and Responsibility) program has been nominated for an Emmy.  

The NH Public Television “TIGER Takes on Bullying” is an award-winning production TV Pilot based on bullying. The show is a lively, music-filled 30-minute special that helps elementary school kids learn how to deal with bullying in school, online and socially.

LYRICS
MAKE NEW FRIENDS BUT KEEP THE OLD,
‘CAUSE ONE IS SILVER AND THE OTHER GOLD-

MAKE, MAKE, MAKING NEW FRIENDS. 
MAKING NEW FRIENDS-

(VERSE 1)
WHEN MAKING YOUR NEW FRIENDS,
YOU BETTA' KEEP, KEEP THE OLD
(HEAR ME OUT NOW, CAUSE…)
ONE IS BRIGHT AS SILVER,
AND THE OTHER, A SHINING GO-O-O-OLD

MAKE, MAKE, MAKING NEW FRIENDS. 
MAKING NEW FRIENDS

(VERSE 2)
FRIENDS’ SHIPS BRAVE ROUGH WEATHER
TAKING HARBOR IN STORMS OF COLD,
I’D TRADE THE OCEAN’S SUNKEN TREASURE,
TO SAIL WITH MY FRIENDS, NEW AND OLD

(RIDE THE WAVES NOW…)
MAKE, MAKE, MAKING NEW FRIENDS. 
MAKING NEW FRIENDS

(VERSE 3)
GREAT FRIENDS ARE STRONG AS MOUNTAINS
REACHING HIGHER EVERY DAY…
OH, BUT TRUE FRIENDS LAST FOREVER,
WHILE THE MOUNTAINS ERODE AWAY.

MAKE, MAKE, MAKING NEW FRIENDS.
MAKING NEW FRIENDS

 (ENDING)
A CIRCLE IS ROUND AND HAS NO END-
THAT’S HOW LONG I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND
