The City of Albuquerque kicked off their first Heights Summerfest: Free, family, fun, concert-series last night, with Dumpstaphunk as the national headliner. Dumpstaphunk is a fantastic group of musicians, who put on a great show. We stood up against the barrier at the stage, and enjoyed their great sound as their funky bass and drums vibrated through our bodies (bass and drum vibes will heal what ails you like kitty purrs). Dumpstaphunk’s performance inspired Jeremiah and the Lizards to write and record Froggyphunk, above. Jeremiah and the Lizards are not quite as talented or as funky as Dumpstaphunk, but they came up with a decent tune. Jeremiah borrowed a recording of a “Chorus of Toads” from Laurie’s brother, Lane. Lane recorded the group of toads singing around his pond late one night. The chorus of toads adds a rather unique froggy element to Froggyphunk.
Off Center & Not Even 
Dang… that’s a terrific song, Tim. I really like it. Who knew frogs could be such great background singers! 😀
Here are more “frogs” in return
Thanks, Teagan. I love Red Skelton. His frog reading is brilliant.
Still listening! The chorus of toads is brilliant. I love the tune. Well done!!!!!!
Thanks, Resa. It was fun. Are you familiar with Dumstaphunk?
I love the frog music!
Thanks, Lavinia!
Jeremiah and the Lizards, just like the AWB, another good band to add to my favourite ones!
Thanks, Herman. Happy you like J&tL.
Cool tune Tim! Keep jamming ’em out. It was great to see you and Laurie there Dumpsta diving with the rest of us. Dumpstaphunk was awesome. Thanks to the City of Albuquerque for bring ’em here!
No time to socialize, center stage and front rail. I’ll catch up with you later man.

Hi Ron. Thanks for letting me know Dumpstaphunk was playing, as I don’t tend to keep up with happenings in the NE Heights. Front stage center was where we liked to be for concerts when we lived in Spain.
That was amazing; your creativity can be so much fun! I guess I should start paying attention to stuff going on in the Heights. And thanks to Lane for the froggy background. 🙂
Thanks, Susan. After posting Jeremiah and the Lizards last week, I remember Lane had that toad recording. It worked out well. The next Summerfest is in July at Nob Hill. Then Downtown and the Westside in August.
Love your jam Tim! I’ve seen Dumpstaphunk years ago, they are fantastic live, love their funk!
Thanks, Tiffany. We really enjoyed them.
Oh my goodness! This is SO cool, Timothy!!! Thank you for sharing!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks, Amy Rose. You are welcome.
