Video tape: Pete Sampras playing Boris Becker at Wimbledon 1997 quarter finals, center court (Same match where Boris came to the net and told Pete he was retiring). In the beginning of this song, you will hear the last point of this game where Pete serves and Boris hits a deep down the line shot giving Pete the game, set and match. Using my recording equipment, I made their shots land on the beat of the music, panned their shots and added delay to make it sound like you are right there watching them play.
SONG LYRICS: VERSE 1:
I joined the U.S.T.A.
Strung my new racket just the other day.
VERSE 2:
I'm feelin' pretty good.
Wish I had Pete Sampras' game
with Andre Agassi's style and speed.
T.E.N.N.I.S.
PRE-CHORUS:
John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors, don't feel bad,
you still mean a lot to the game.
CHORUS:
I've seen the United States' red, white and blue,
but all that I see now is red, white and green.
VERSE 3:
I'm watchin' E.S.P.N.
It's Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova.
[VERSE 2]
T.E.N.N.I.S. [PRE-CHORUS] [CHORUS]
but all that I see now is red, white and green.
but all that I see now is red, white and green.
but all that I see now is red, white and green.
but all that I see now is red, white and green.
all that I see now... red, white and green.
all that I see now... red, white and green.
all that I see now... red, white and green.

"The first thing I can offer is to put you on my show, A/C Outlet, which airs on St. Paul cable, but will be distributed later this summer on DVD. I am also planning a compilation release of 12-15 musicians for July. I will start with 1000 copies and distribute to radio stations and record labels. I have an idea for your tennis song titled Red, White and Green. Let's shoot a video of you performing the song and splice it in with tennis footage. I can shoot and edit it and we'll present it to the USTA and see if they want to pick it up."
