Fokken A

Jeffrey Rein's at it again. He writes:

When I moved in to my new place, I met a guy named Larry who was in a band and the subject came up that I wrote a song 30 years ago that was a spoof on "Hot Rod Lincoln." It was about a combat plane that I named the "Fokken A" that I flew in a slow rat race. The first line says:
Now you've heard the story of the slow rat race, when the Fox and the Tigers were settin the pace. That story is true and I'm here to say, that I was flying my Fokken A.
I've performed it about a dozen times over the years, and most people get a kick out of it. I have had a lot of requests for it over the years but could not come up with a copy good enough to give to anyone. Larry said we should record it and put it on CD. I asked: How can we do that? Then he told me he was also a producer and showed me his studio filled with all of this professional recording equipment. Long story made short is that using the karaoke version from "Hot Rod Lincoln," I recorded "Fokken A" and "Hot Rod Lincoln", and we also put a copy of Commander Cody's version on a CD. Then he started talking about graphics for the front and back cover. What we ended up with was something of professional quality that looks and sounds as good as anything you could buy at a store.
