About Me


DICK PRALL RECENT NEWS: Starbucks has come a’callin’ and wants to feature Dick Prall’s tune, "The Cornflakes Song," in over 10,000+ Starbucks stores in 2008. Not only will you hear him overhead while you’re buying your coffee, but they are going to start rolling out plasma screens that display the name of the artists as they’re being spun. How’s that for a good start to a great 2008?
