Music by Suno Monday: Rikki Tikki Tavi

I know the female vocalist is kind of a different choice, but just pretend that it’s Rikki’s ally, the female tailor-bird, singing: https://suno.com/song/9b369786-912d-41d6-aa94-9c456021ea54

Also none of the male versions that Suno generated really captured the menacing agility of Rikki the mongoose and Nag the cobra.

If you’re not familiar with the story, the Chuck Jones adaptation is pretty faithful, with word for word narration by Orson Welles, and can be viewed here: https://archive.org/details/rikkitikkitavi_201701

A Good Name For A Band

Posted on Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , Leave a comment

Admiral Khopesh, the father of one of the supporting characters in Shadow Captain, is a fairly important character in the sequel that I am currently writing, but I have trouble remembering the placeholder names I gave the ship’s captains who answer to him. In a scene I drafted yesterday, I had to refer to them as [Surviving Good Destroyer Captains] in a couple of places. In the spirit of Dave Barry, I will remark that “Surviving Good Destroyer Captains” sounds like a good name for a band or possibly an anime series, and let it go at that.
