The 4th of July on a Tuesday

Quick poll: How many of you like the 4th of July on a Tuesday?

Me, I’m not one of them, and think it is crappy. I believe all federal holidays should be lined up for a Monday or a Friday, or if they are on a Tuesday or Thursday it should be a law that the Monday or Friday are also holidays, as it were, because, hell, no one really wants to work on those days anyhow.

No Song to Sing

Ah, one of those days when my head went empty.

At least there is some spinning Milo.

I Would Like Another Kong

I’m trying something different for this song – an intro explanation. Let me know in the comments if you like it!

For today Milo got another Kong full of treats, and let me go to work.

Misty Rain on a Friday

I should start a new playlist of songs called “Lost It.” It would be the group of songs when, after finishing, I feel like I’ve completely lost my mind and gone bonkers. This song is one of those songs.

Basically inspired by the fact that it was Friday, and the day started out rainy, I knew from the weather forecast that the day would get nicer. So, I tried to remind everyone that just because a Friday starts out crappy, and all you want to do is nappy, it might be a nice day, and you’ll get out and play!

Have a great weekend!

$4.00 Coronas

I get inspiration for these songs from everywhere. Today I was having trouble thinking of something to sing for my wife this morning when, on the sign for a bar I drive bar, it advertised $4.00 Corona bottles.

In my head I wondered if that was a huge draw. I mean, is there someone who drove by and said “Gee, they have $4.00 Corona bottles. I must go there!”? So, I turned the thought into a story about a bar that was about to close until they had $4.00 Corona Friday nights.

The Day With the Most Sunlight

It’s the first day of Astronomical Summer, as opposed to the first day of Meteorological Summer, which is June 1st.

I know this because Weatherman extraordinaire, Tom Skilling, likes to explain the difference between astronomical and meteorological with every season change.

I also know that all this day really signifies is that from now until Astronomical Winter the amount of sunlight we receive is getting shorter. Crap.

There’s a Bird on a Wire

Yup, I parked, and there on the wire was a bird.

Bird. On a Wire.I kind of wondered what he, or maybe she, was thinking, so I sang. It’s what I do.

If you would like more songs about birds, I’m sure I’ll sing about one again, so subscribe to my YouTube channel or “Like” “Songs By Andy” on Facebook!

How to Say “Gnocchi?”

At Father’s Day dinner, as we were having gnocchi as part of the meal, there was much discussion of how exactly to say “gnocchi.”

If you don’t know what gnocchi is, or rather “are” I suppose as I’m unsure of it being singular or plural, it’s an Italian dumpling. Oddly enough, in a room full of folks of Italian descent, there didn’t seem to be a consensus as even the Internet was consulted as to the proper pronunciation. This, of course, differed slightly from that of our eldest participant.

Me, being of Polish descent, I have no chance of really knowing how to say “gnocchi,” all I do know is that it’s yummy in my belly.

There still may not be a decision on how to pronounce “gnocchi,” but you can hear all kind of mis-pronunciations if you subscribe to my YouTube channel or “Like” “Songs By Andy” on Facebook!

I’ve Got You to Keep Me Going

There are times that I need a little push.

It might be as simple as a reason to get out of bed in the morning, it might be to start a project. Heck, at times it’s even to just continue a project. We all sometimes need someone in our life to give us that push, and I’ve got my wife.

I Got a Low Tire

Why does it always seem my low tire pressure light comes on while I’m on the way to work?

It did it again, this morning, and since it wasn’t five degrees outside I worried a little more, attributing it to more likely a leak and not being a little low because of the cold weather.

It left me with this song, and I did take it to a place to get it checked, but the dude just filled it up with air, said he didn’t think it had a leak, and sent me on my merry way.

I’m guessing that light will be coming back on in a few days.
