I've done it before and am prepared do it again! I bought a new tent and canteen, so I'm all set. (Just kidding - all I bring is my keyboard and recording device). Why? I want to write a song with campers and air it on the Sean and Richie Show!
It always helps when you get lots of great information. The songs almost write themselves (as long as there is plenty of high test coffee nearby). But the combination worked, I think - so here is a song for the great city of Glens Falls, NY for Your Town Thursday.
A great time was had by all at A. W. Becker school in Selkirk. Special thanks to Mrs. Planck for letting me in at the last minute, and for Producer Dave for arranging this (in fact, he went along for the ride.
This was a return appearance for me. I think I've been to the Yates Elementary School in Schenectady for the past 5 years straight. I hope I'm invited for 5 more.
First and foremost, thanks to all who wrote in from West Sand Lake. As one Facebook friend mentioned, I think I had more contributors than there are citizens of the entire town!
This is now year 19 of the Reading, Writing and Rhyming School Tour. It's unbelievable, but it's true. Besides being on the air, it's the most fun I've ever had behind a piano. And the fun's about to continue. In fact, I'm DOUBLING the appearances this year to give more schools a chance, and to give me more of a chance to meet YOU!
I know it took awhile to get to this. I wanted to write you a song long ago, but I thought you folks probably had a lot bigger things on your mind. On the other hand, you need a little bit of fun in your lives, and I hope this helps provide it for at least 90 seconds (that's how long it is!)
I wanted to wait a little bit until things calmed down at least a little bit! But it is now time for a song for this hard hit corner of the world in Montgomery County - Fort Plain. I have 24 hours to get this together (actually less by the time you read this) . A little teamwork here, folks...
