Football commentator Dennis Cometti has written his first song and it is expected to be performed at the AFL Grand Final this year.
"Music guru's" Ross and John on 3AW had the scoop this morning about Cometti.The football commentator came across singer James McKenna on one of his U.S. jaunts. He bought the album, emailed McKenna with his praises and struck up a relationship.
McKenna came to Australia last September to check out Australian Football and now the sportsman and musician have created a song for the Grand Final.
At the James McKenna MySpace it says, "Dennis would acquire his own radio segment on Mix 94.5 in Perth, Australia. He played "Seven Cigarettes" over the air on his weekly afternoon drive segment "Dennis Does Downloads", a make it-or-break it segment where the audience would text message their opinion to the station. The response was an astounding 96% positive! Following the radio success, James and Dennis collaborated to adapt his song "Jump" for use in national network AFL broadcasts".
McKenna started out musically in the US Navy. He performed for his shipmates and then pursued a music career when he was discharged.
