A message from the T-Rex: Charmer lead guitarist Pat Tenneriello!



I haven't heard this song in over 27 years and then one day I went looking for it on YouTube to show my little nephew. Once on YouTube, your website came up and here I am.



Charmer was a four piece pop rock band based out of Chicago, IL. We were actively playing the Chicago club circuit from 1985-1989.



Our manager at the time had very good connections around the Chicago land area. While recording our first album, one of his connections happened to be at the recording studio one day and heard our energetic pop rock sound. He told us about a kid Dinosaur movie that was in production starring Fred Savage and the producers were at the time actively looking for a song that would feature Dinosaur cartoon characters singing along to the song. Needless to say, we were on board with the entire thing. The lyrics were already written by the person who wrote the screenplay while the music along with the song's arrangement was left up to us.



We went into the studio on a weekend and wrote, arranged, and recorded the entire music track along with all the vocals. Due to the contractual agreement, we sadly had to relinquish all rights and therefore any ownership of the song.



I honestly thought Mesozoic Mind had been long forgotten. But according to this website, the song has had a long lasting impact on many young and adult lives and I'm proud and honored to have been a part of it. As a songwriter/musician, you always hope that your music can somehow capture the hearts and minds of your listeners. As a result of finding your website and reading all the wonderful stories and memories, I can truly say that one song did.



Many grateful thanks!



We never did get to meet Fred Savage. Oh Well!

Vector Art: I'm also hard at work on vectorizing the four dinosaurs in the band. I'm currently working on the T-Rex,



How about this: if you create a vector version of a character, and it is awesome (i.e. looks exactly, or extremely close to, any of the dinosaurs in the band), and we add it to our store, I'll pay for a single item of your choice (save for the skateboard, I'd say limit $40). What I'd ask is for you to send me the packing slip from your received order, and I'll reimburse you. That's in return for some awesome vector art that all fans get to enjoy. I don't make any money from this website, and it'll help cover hosting fees to have awesome stuff for sale.



Also, if you create some unique looking vector versions of the dinosaurs in the band, and they are still recognizable as being in the band, I'll consider that as well.



I can make no guarantees that I can / will be able to use all submissions (if any!), but the offer is on the table! I'm also hard at work on vectorizing the four dinosaurs in the band. I'm currently working on the T-Rex, tracing this picture in Illustrator. If anyone wants to help, you're more than welcome!

It's going to feature many musicians coming together to make their own mixes of the song. The one musician that has been announced so far? Moby.



And on this, the first of April 2009, let's celebrate history as another version of the song is in the works! (Lame April Fool's Day Joke!)
