My last music offering was on the serious side. Here is something upbeat and humorous. It is my parody of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass.”

When I first heard her hit, the idea to rewrite the words as “All About That Bratsch'” came to me immediately – “Bratsche” (“Brah-cheh”) is the German word for “viola.”

The words came pretty quickly to me, and then I arranged it for string quartet.

Here are my friends, Casey, Mitchell, Dana, and Erin backing me up on my parody.
