== Hi ==

Hi Silverblade08. Are you the same Silverblade08 from youtube? Because somehow I stumble upon you youtube page. And by the way, what ever happened to Silverblade 07? {{User:The thing/sig}} 00:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

No, I am not. I do have a youtube, however, right [http://youtube.com/user/xxjoey96xx here]

:Uh, maybe because it's 2008? {{User:Hrjcm/sig}} 00:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

When you are writing links, instead of typing <nowiki>[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Homsar Homsar]</nowiki> you could just type <nowiki>[[Homsar]]</nowiki>. It's a lot easier. {{User:The thing/sig}} 00:47, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

'''[[DaVinci's Notebook]]''' (DVN) is an [[Wikipedia:A cappella|a cappella]] singing group consisting of Bernie Muller-Thym, Greg "Storm" DiCostanzo, Paul Sabourin, and Richard Hsu. Two members of the group, Paul and Storm, performed [[Ballad of The Sneak]]. The song is available on a CD entitled "Paul and Storm: Shame and Cookie Dough."

The group was formed in Virginia in 1994 and has [http://web.archive.org/web/20060323213124/www.davincisnotebook.com/pastperf.asp performed] at stages and festivals across the United States. For [http://web.archive.org/web/20060208055324/http://www.davincisnotebook.com/history.asp#openletter personal reasons], DaVinci's Notebook is no longer touring. The band disbanded in 2004. However, Paul and Storm are currently touring with [[Wikipedia:Jonathan Coulton|Jonathan Coulton]].

==The Making of Ballad of The Sneak==

DaVinci's Notebook discovered [[homestarrunner.com]] through a link on Memepool.com ([http://memepool.com/Date/165/ listed on July 4, 2001]). Almost immediately, the band became Homestar Runner fans. The subject of which band member actually brought Homestar Runner to the band's attention first is a subject of debate amongst the group. According to Storm, this was well before [[The Brothers Chaps]] started making [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]].

Storm states that Paul more or less stalked The Brothers Chaps because DVN thought they were utterly hysterical, and because Paul had a talent for getting in touch with interesting people. Paul wrote that he "used his mad Interwebs stalking skills and a phone book...and it was early enough in their career that they were more flattered than creeped out when I tracked them down." Paul eventually convinced the brothers to come see one of DVN's gigs when they came to [[wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]], and a friendship was born.

At one point, The Brothers Chaps said they'd love DVN to contribute a song. Later, they specifically asked DVN to write an [[Old-Timey]] theme song for [[The Sneak]]. Aside from describing it as "Old-Timey" and being about the Old-Timey version of [[The Cheat]], The Brothers Chaps just let DVN do their thing.

Paul and Storm passed lyrics back and forth (mostly over e-mail). The song was ''very'' loosely based on [[The Skate Party|The Skate Party's]] [[The Cheat Theme Song]]. It was recorded at Paul's house, and the vocals are mostly done by Paul. Storm recalls that they finished fairly quickly, though they worked on it in between a lot of other projects and tours over a month. The actual work time was only a handful of hours. Paul added that the many random sound effects were put in the song mainly to see what they would end up doing with them.

Paul noted that the chronological inconsistencies (references to Tammany Hall, the Hully Gully, the Kaiser, prohibition, etc.) were, for the most part, intentional; partly to keep with the overall feel The Brothers Chaps had established with the toon. The goal was partly to contribute to the overall Old-Timey theme and partly to see if people would point them out.

Storm recalls being very excited to see how the song would be interpreted by The Brothers Chaps. They wondered if ''Ballad of the Sneak'' would match what they had in their heads. About a month after DVN sent the completed song to The Brothers Chaps, the "Ballad of The Sneak" toon appeared on the Homestar Runner site.
