Richie’s Middleburgh Theme Song -Your Town Thursday [AUDIO]

There are some tough people in this little Schoharie County town. They've withstood flooding, high winds and unspeakable losses, but they're still standing! I thought you folks needed a little reprieve, so I wrote you a song (free of charge). That's what we do here!

First, an apology. Once again, I finished a song that nearly ran two minutes and didn't even approach cramming in all the information that was sent me. I might have to write a second version.

I went with a parody of "Meet In The Middle" by Diamond Rio. (Middle? Middleburgh? See where we're going with this?)

I hope you enjoy it. I had a great time locked in the studio writing this. (by the way, some photos included at the bottom)

Middleburgh Song

written and sung by Richie Phillips

It's in the county of Schoharie

Known for its charm

You aint taste nothing

Til youve tried the berries from Borhingers farm

For years the kids in high school would pull a prank

Just for laughs

They'd move the old town's cannon

Onto the Middleburgh High School's grass

( bet that tradition didn't last!)

If you're going hiking, pack tissues with your clothes

When you climb up the mountain, you can wipe Voorman's nose

he town's had some flooding

It's news Im sure you've heard

they've had it rough and you've gotta be tough

When you live in Middleburgh

Ever heard of Nicole Sullivan from SNL and Mad TV

She's the daughter of Edward Sullivan who worked in the Assembly

They're both former residents

I guess they're no longer around

but the Fire Department surely is

they're the heroes of this town

Always there to lend a hand

wading through the mud

great neighbors in Middleburgh

They'll clean up the flood

It's just one more obstacle

But they won't be deterred

things are rough and you've gotta be tough

When you live in Middleburgh

Repeat chorous

I dedicate this to all the flood victims. Check out these shots!!
