“Mixed Message”

“Mixed Message” was recorded during the June, 2009 performance by the Dysfunctional Family Jazz Band (DFJB) at New York’s celebrated music venue, the Rodeo Bar. The band includes Patty Carpenter and Melissa Shetler on vocals, Scott Shetler on pennywhistles, Tony Garnier on bass, Paul Sullivan on guitar, and Russ Meissner on drums.

This was a song that Patty originally wrote about the answering machine and has since updated to deal with the latest in voice mail, cellular phones and voice mail. The children have dubbed her a “glitter rocker mom” and this funky tune does nothing to dispel the image.
