In 2006-2008, Brobdingnagian Bards had a slump. We weren't producing much new music. I was frustrated. I was writing lots of songs, fewer parodies and more original songs. I wanted to get them out into the world. So I recorded a lot of music.

There was nothing fancy about these recordings. Sometimes I added additional instrumentation. But mostly, it was just me and my autoharp.

At the time, I felt more like a preservationist when it came to music. My goal was to write. Not write great songs. I just wanted to preserve the songs I wrote and recorded all on one album. Those songs became What Color Is Your Dragon.

I feel like the album is a lot of fun. However, I only sing two or three of the songs these days. But I'm still proud to have released the album in 2008, in part, kickstarting a flurry of albums, four per year for several years. I also learned a lot about songwriting through this process.

What are your favorite tracks on What Color Is Your Dragon?

Listen to the album on Bandcamp.

Thanks so much!
