parody

We're countin' it down.  Very excited.  I've tried to make it a tradition to rhyme some of the rules of Countryfest, so here we go, using an Eric Church song as the parody

In order to write a decent town theme song you need decent information, and thanks to Kathy Burbank of the Guilderland Chamber Of Commerce, I got it.    Thanks, Kathy.  Now let's commence with yet another Your Town Thursday song

We may have broken a record with this week's "Your Town Thursday".  It was the overwhelming number of town nominations that was received, and I thank each and everyone for taking the time to write in.  But there was also a slight problem

I have been a fan of Cledus T. Judd for some time now. I was always a fan of "Weird Al" Yankovic, so I think that's the reason I like Cledus as well.

Out of all the rhyming I do in a given year, this little piece is always the most challenging, for some reason.  What events do you include in a year end song?

I'm proud to say that this year, the Readin', Writin' and Rhymin' program has partnered with the Academy for Character Education at Russell Sage College, Rensselear County Executive Kathy Jimino's office, and Mayor John McDonald of Cohoes to take a strong stand against a growing trend in America-BULLYING.

Casey Danton, our illustrious newsperson is one busy lady.  Trying to compile all of goings on is a tough job. She can't possibly cover all of the stories that come across her desk (plus there's no room for them with all those shoe boxes in the way from her latest shopping trip)...

There is a new marketing trend out there my friends and I want in!  You all have seen the commercials on TV with the Wheat Thins truck delivering pallets of Wheat Thins to people who tweet about them right? It seems this is now quite the trend. Many restaurants are also in the mix as well. One of them is Morton's Steakhouse. Which by the way is amazing!

This video is hysterical BUT there is a swear word or two and should not be watched in front of kids. That being said I HAD to share another bit from collegehumor.com John Stamos is hysterical! Watch this video but make sure no one is behind you.

We return now to Schenectady County as I attempt to make Scotia rhyme with something.  I'm still racking my brain on that one.  But heck, I love a good challenge, and that's what Your Town Thursday is all about!

Sorry, folks.  I apologize in advance.  But this blog is going to be extremely brief.  I'm feeling a little "low".  Drained out, if you will.  And it's only Monday!!  Maybe it's because I skipped breakfast this morning, which I never do.  I need FOOOOOOOD!!

You asked for it!  Time for a little sing-along to help you through what could be a nasty couple of days down in Washington DC.   In fact, this time it's on video so you can see what the studio looks like, and gather around the "virtual piano bar" on the Sean and Richie Show
