I guarantee there are a few folks out there that think I’ve gone off the deep end again and written a musical… I haven’t, but I did stumble across this recently and thought I would share.
Piggy Nation. That’s right, a whole Nation of Piggies. Not the kind of Piggies that steal eggs from angry birds with access to a slingshot nor the kind of Piggies that play baseball like our beloved IronPigs. These Piggies sing!
It all started with a book by author Richard Rosser called “Piggy Nation A Day at Work With Dad.”
Piggy Nation A Day At Work With Dad focuses on piggy behavior in an amusing, colorful update of the Golden Rule. The main character is a piglet named Sammy who joins his Dad on Piggy Patrol. As they search the town for piggies, Sammy learns about rude behavior!
The book and its readings were so popular he created a musical.
During the design process of the children’s book Piggy Nation A Day At Work With Dad, author Richard Rosser began reading his book to elementary school classes, which led to performing assemblies for large groups of students. The kids responded so positively that it inspired Rosser to adapt the story into a full-length musical with twelve songs and a cast of twenty. Expanding on the children’s book, he added elements of romance and treachery. With composer Alec Wells (theoutsidejoke.com), the two crafted a musical richly layered with Blues, Zydeco, Rock, Rap and Gospel influences
Looking at the Soundtrack, this is great. Granted it was written for kids but it can also be enjoyed by us Lehigh Valley IronPig fans as well.
A few of the songs:
Piggy Patrol (We’ve heard this term before at Coca Cola Park)
Blah Blah Blah (ditto)
Heading Home
We’re All Piggies
and my personal favorite…
Stop That Noise Parts 1 & 2
I initially stumbled on the Soundtrack on iTunes (It is available for purchase there) and found their website: http://piggynation.com/
Enjoy Pig Fans!
