    Greg!

    The truth is, I am apparently not in High School Musical 4 after all. It was all just a big April Fool’s stunt. I was auditioning for the part of the teenage disabled Asian Varsity Football playing girl from a two-mommy home (they were trying to cover all their remaining target demographics that were missing from HSM 1-3 with the addition of one final character), and through some undisclosed form of thinly veiled discrimination, I didn’t get the part. So that was that.

    But congratulations on your casting success!

  2. April 1st, 2009 Greg said:

    Great news on your role in the upcoming High School Musical 4! I recently found out that they loved the character idea I floated at my audition … so I’m going to be playing the all-state two-sport star who has been held back from graduating for 20 years due to his low grades, athletic prowess, and irresistable good looks. Maybe the producers will let you be part of my big tap-dance number!

    Hi Christine!

    My music is officially targeted towards kids age 2-11. In reality, however, there have been a lot of kids younger than 2 bopping around having a good time at many Doctor Noize concerts in the past. I would recommend judging by your child instead of by the “official Dr. Noize age range.” If your kid is younger than 2 but shows a love of music, and always gets into it when music is in the air… I say go for it.

    Another example: There are many fathers whose maturity level is less than that of a two year old, and they also seem to enjoy the show. Thanks for writing!

    What is the minimum recommended age for your concerts?

  5. February 16th, 2009 Dr. Noize said:

    Alex! It’s great to hear from you! The specifics are not ironed out yet, but I will most likely play a show sometime around June 21-21. Okay, I won’t tell your niece she’s getting my CD for her birthday. And that has nothing to do with the fact that I don’t even know your niece’s name or her contact information. I look forward to ascertaining you nephew’s engagement level from the stage… Go Cardinal.

  6. February 15th, 2009 Alex Sale said:

    Yay! When are you coming to Cincinnati? My niece will be thrilled. Don’t tell her, but she’s getting your CD for her birthday…. (possibly my nephew will be thrilled as well, although since he seems committed to the no-talking thing, it’s hard to tell.)

    Jana!

    Thank you so much for letting me know! I am so glad. Tell Allison that Doctor Noize thinks she rocks. Also, look at all the pretty pictures on this website — I can introduce you to the artist if you like…

    Doctor Noize will be playing shows in the Bay Area in March and April and I hope to see you at one of them. Say hi to that painter for me.

  8. January 21st, 2009 Jana Lowe said:

    Hi Cory, just wanted to let you know that our daughter Allison loves your CD, The Ballad of Phineas McBoof! She loves to dance around to it :)

    It’s great to hear from you. I would love to play your Family Concert series and will email you directly.

    Happy New Year to you (and everybuddy else) too!

    Doctor Noize

  12. January 1st, 2009 Anya Thomson said:

    Hi,
    Would you be interested in performing at a concert series I produce for families with young children. I’m looking for someone to play on January 17th. I see you have something at 2 that day, this show could start as late as 4:30 (until 5:30 or 6). I got your information from Shane, who works at the Children’s Museum, he said he mentioned The Family Concert Series to you. Hope we can make this work. You would be perfect!! To get more info about the series please visit my website and click family concerts.
    Thanks
    Happy New Year,
    Anya Thomson

    Peter!

    Thank you so much for contacting! Your site looks great, and I will look at it in more detail when I return from my shows here in the Bay Area — your stomping ground! I would be delighted to meet you while I’m out here. Please either come to a show or drop me an email via the address on the Contact page on this site.

    Also, thank you for clarifying that your sister is not, and never will be, a dad. It is good to be clear about such things. And I wanted to publicly take the opportunity to clarify that I am not, and never will be, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — even though we have similar builds and both have a wicked sky hook.

    Thanks,

    Doctor Noize

  16. October 13th, 2008 Peter said:

    Hi again,
    I thought I should clarify that my sister doesn’t happen to be a dad with three girels on your soccer team. It is, in fact, her friend who is the dad. Whew. Glad I cleared that up.

    Peter

  17. October 13th, 2008 Peter said:

    Hey Dr. Noize,

    I just wandered by your site on a tip from a kind of mutual contact — a friend of my sister (in Denver) who also happens be a dad with three girls on your soccer team and fan of your music. I’m a singer-songwriter, older-than-I-look kids’ music artist/entertainer in the Bay Area, His kids have my music CD and coloring/activity book, and he was wondering if we knew of each other.

    I had a blast browsing around, listening to the music, and watching the videos. It was inspirational for me as a fellow artist. Congratulations on all your successes, and I wish you the best of luck in the future. I hope we cross paths at some point in person. If you get a chance, check out my site and some clips.

    Dan! There is also a big debate in our household. Ours is on the following subject of deep importance: Who ate the last muffin? However, I suppose that is not really a direct answer to your question. I am now realizing that you are right, the lyrics are not posted on the website anywhere. We will try to change that. The lyrics are, however, included in the CD booklet — but maybe you downloaded your copy from iTunes. In any event, the last three words of Banana are: “Eat red meat!” In truth, this is a bit of poetic license: Phineas McBoof wrote the song as an ode to his true love the banana, and he is actually a vegetarian. So he actually never eats red meat. Nonetheless, the lyrics make Bottomus more than a little uncomfortable. Thanks for asking.

  19. June 24th, 2008 Dan said:

    Ok, there is a big debate about the last line of the lyrics of the song “Banana” in our household. Since I cannot find the lyrics published online anywhere, what is it that your lyrics want us to eat? (Our picks are feet, meat, beet, and others that make even less sense)

  20. June 1st, 2008 Dr. Noize said:

    Hello Sarah! I remember you wrote last year too. It is good to hear from you again. I can hardly wait until the next CD comes out too… It is currently scheduled for release in the Fall of 2009. I am so sorry that is a long time from now! Doctor Noize is wearing a lot of hats at the moment. I am hoping to stop wearing so many hats soon, and perhaps then the CD can be released a little earlier. That would be super boffo awesome splendiforous! I would love to come to Ithaca to play. Riley The Robot tells me they have some good organ players there. If I come play there, will you join me onstage to sing a song?

    Yer buddy,

    Doc Noize

  21. June 1st, 2008 Sarah said:

    dear dr noize, i cant wait until the new cd comes out!!! do you know when it will come out??? if so,when? i really hope you can come too ithaca and play a concert. if yoo do,i’ll bee shoor too come!!!!!!!!

  22. May 13th, 2008 Dr. Noize said:

    Dear Claire & Claire’s Mom!

    I had a lot of fun with you during the show and talking after too. Claire sure is smart. She can join The International Band Of Misunderstood Geniuses anytime. Make sure to sign the email list in the top right above if you haven’t already, so you will get notices when I’m in the Bay Area again.

    Thanks!

    Doctor Noize

  23. May 12th, 2008 Claire's Mom said:

    Dear Dr. Noize,

    We had so much fun at your little show at The Learning Game. Claire has done nothing but talk about you and listen to that great CD. And now Phineas McBoof has become out “secret password”!
    Oh…..guess it’s not so secret anymore.

    Anyway, we can’t wait to see you again!

    P.S. - Your Mom rocks too!!

  24. April 3rd, 2008 Dr. Noize said:

    Dear Leola,

    You sound suspiciously like my mother.

  25. April 1st, 2008 leola said:

    Don’t scare me again like that!!!!!! THANK GOODNESS Doctor Noize will continue with the International Band of Misunderstood Geniuses. I don’t know what I’d do without more of Doctor Noize’s music and stories. I never thought he could wiggle enough for the Wiggles, and he’s way cooler than they are, besides!

  26. March 26th, 2008 Cory said:

    Hi Chris!

    Of course I remember you, and I remember you well! Our mutual buddy Jason Woo just became a father. If you want to see him, I believe he is coming to one of the Bus Barn shows in Los Altos in May. (Contact me directly via the Contact page for his contact info and Janette’s.) I also remember Steve and would love to see him again too. Thanks for your kind words and I have passed your message on to Janette. I’ll see you in May!

  27. March 25th, 2008 Chris Mingrone Mobeck said:

    Cory! I”m so glad my friend forwarded you on to me!! Great to see you have found your calling, you were always WAY talented (I still listen to Oyster). I worked with Janette in HR at Informix…. I have forwarded you onto Anne (Leneghan) Herreria and Steve Herreria (now married with 2 kids) and a few others….I am going to check out the schedule and see you play!!! I have two kids…a 9mo old and 2 1/2 year old, my 2 1/2 year old will LOVE you!! Chris (Mingrone) Mobeck (now married). I’m so excited for you! Say ‘hi’ to Janette!!!! I”d love to get in touch with her!

  28. March 13th, 2008 Lenny said:

    Howdy Benton!

    Firstly, to yer question: Actually, there ain’t no difference between a fiddle and a violin! No sir. It’s simply two different names for the same instrument. But folks usually use the nickname “fiddle” when a fella’s playin’ the violin in a country music style, like in “What My Robot Said.” Smart folks usually call it a violin when it plays fancy schmancy concert hall music like on the “Lenny Long Tail” track that inroduces me on the CD. So I reckon that’s yer answer, cowboy.

    That old violin I was fiddlin’ when I met Phineas was owned by an old guy by the name o’ Goose Giddler. He was none too pleased when I borrowed his fiddle. I reckon I should apologize fer that.

    Benton, I got a question fer you: How come my friend Doctor Noize calls you “Mr. Studly?” You oughtta be mighty proud o’ that.

    Happy tails,

    Lenny

  29. March 13th, 2008 Dr. Noize said:

    Dear Benton (aka Mr. Studly),

    Thank you for asking. Yes, I am a real Doctor — a Doctor Of Nonsense. And there is no sense denying this. The good thing about being this sort of doctor is that it requires no official doctorate whatsoever. It’s more of an imaginary thing.

    PS Benton, you are way cool and I can’t wait to see you at my first shows in Dallas.

    Your buddy for life,
    Doctor Noize

  30. March 13th, 2008 Benton Word said:

    Dr. Noize - Are you a real Dr? And if so, what kind of doctor are you?

    Lenny Long Tail - Phineas says you were fiddling a really old kind of violin when he first met you. What’s the difference between a fiddle and violin?

  32. December 26th, 2007 Dr. Noize said:

    Sorry for the delayed reply — I was on Christmas break. The CD is not yet available in retail stores in Atlanta. However, it is available online at the greatest internet music store in the universe: CD Baby. Here is where to go to get a copy of it:

    http://cdbaby.com/cd/doctornoize

    If you’re not comfortable ordering it from CD baby, just email Pictoria Records directly from the Contact page on this site and we will send you one.

    Thanks for the kind words and I hope to see you and your kids at a show in Atlanta someday soon.

    Joni! It’s great to get a Forum post from my hometown. Lone Tree is an awesome place to be. And it is far too humbly named — I mean, let’s be honest, there is more than one tree here, and I don’t think any of them are lonely. I look forward to seeing you at the show on Sunday! Come say hi after the show. Also please say hi to my colleagues Barney, Bob and the rest. Those VeggieTales are the funniest vegetables I’ve met since I used to hang out with a hilarious stand-up cauliflower back in my San Francisco days.

    Sarah, thank you so much for dropping me a line in the Forum! I’m sorry I have been away from the Forum for 48 hours. Bad Doctor! Bad Doctor! In any event, I’m glad you like the CD! Annette and David play a mean organ. (They also play nice organs.) I would love to come to Ithaca to perform sometime. I have nothing booked there yet, but if you’d like, send me your email and I will let you know the first time I’m out there. Thanks and take care.

    Hi Cory,
    I live in Lone Tree and would love to meet you. I’ve listened to your music and it’s awesome. I also plan on coming to the show this Sunday at the rec center. I am with Propeller Consulting. We have worked with many high profile kids brands to gain distribution such as VeggieTales, Barney, Angelina Ballerina, Bob the Builder and The Wiggles. Would you be interested in chatting about your plans? Our website is listed above and my phone number is 303-910-2243.

  45. August 25th, 2007 Dr. Noize said:

    Kristen! Thanks for your message, and you look marvelous today. I love what you’ve done with your hair. In any event… I will be performing in the San Francisco Bay Area from October 11-24 this year. In 2008, I will be performing in the Bay Area from May 12-18. There is a good chance I’ll also return in October of 2008, because I love you guys out there so much. Keep checking the Showz page as those dates approach — more showz at specific venues and times will be added.
