Knowledge

My name’s Craig McCool, but I make music under the name Fearless Freep.

Want to know more? See the following Q & A.

Q: What’s a Freep?

A: Who knows? I got the name from the old Bugs Bunny cartoon – the one where Sam forces Bugs into a death-defying high dive act after the real performer, Fearless Freep, fails to appear for a show. Hilarity ensues and (spoiler alert!) Bugs gets the upper hand.

Q: So that’s your music name – Fearless Freep?

A: Yeah. I thought it sounded like a cool band name. I have no band, but that’s okay. Whatever. It was either Fearless Freep, or Phil Harmonic.

Q: Uh huh. Good choice on the Fearless Freep-name then.

A: Thanks.

Q: What is your day job?

A: Corporate Communications.

Q: That sounds exciting!

A: Do I sense sarcasm?

Q: Where do you live?

A: Las Vegas, Nevada. (Not the tiny town in New Mexico.)

Q: Wow! So you party 24/7, drink like a fish, visit houses of ill-repute and gamble every night?!

A: No. Only on weekends. No. And no.

Q: Cause that’s what I would do!

A: Right.

Q: So you write music? What kind?

A: Yes. I write original pop-rock tunes.

Q: Are you any good?

A: I have a job in Corporate Communications.

Q: If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

A: I gotta take off now …
