Bartenders often call out "Last Call" toward the end of a night so everyone can spend just a little more money and get just a little more toasted.

But it's also the final opportunity for closing on or finding a partner for the balance of the night, if you can still stand up (etc.). This song tells the story of a last call applying to both, even as the couple originally came in together. Things change. People meet other people. Decisions must be made.

This original song was composed, played (except pedal steel), and recorded by Loose Bruce Kerr. He had a 20 year career as a solo, duo, band from 1973 after he quit his job to go on the road till 1993.

But he continues to this day to write songs & parodies, with over 160 song plays on the famed Dr. Demento Show right up to its closing last year. He also opened for "Weird Al" Yankovic back in the day.

He's now retired and living in northern California.

"Thanks to my cousin, Bridget, who, about a week ago, suggested I do something on Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, here's the resulting parody."

-Loose Bruce Kerr

Bruce records his originals & parodies one vocal & instrument at a time. He started doing this in 1980 to have background tracks on stage in his solo act, bass, drums (machine), keyboards, mandolin, leaving off the lead vocal and guitar to do live. His 1st multitrack was a 4-track TEAC deck. When he started doing videos, especially with YouTube's advent around 2006, he'd use his previous multitrack audio version that left off lead vocal & guitar and do the live part into the camera. Same for new songs.

He recorded "GEEZ, KAROLINE!" on his current deck, a digital 32-track TASCAM recorder along with a Yamaha midi rack tied to a Yamaha midi keyboard. This allows him to play the orchestration for the tune, one instrument at a time: trumpets, trombones, french horns, strings, drums, cymbals, in addition to playing bass guitar, guitar, and singing lead.

Since 1987, Bruce's originals and parodies have been played over 160 times on the Dr. Demento Show (which just closed shop after over 50 years on the air on nationwide radio, then the internet).

The live studio VIDEO version of this parody is available on this podcast webpage.

After Bruce's 20-year career solo/duo/band act, he went back to law (having given it up in 1973 to pursue music & comedy). Following that, he had a 13-year career at Sun Microsystems in Silicon Valley in their legal department, working up to Assistant General Counsel before Oracle acquired Sun in 2010. Having put in an additional 10 years there, he retired in 2021 and now enjoys writing and recording originals and parodies like this one in his home with his wife, Linda, in northern California amidst the redwoods.
