Fame and Notoriety (and the song within)
Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 6:40AM In case anyone has missed it, BlogFest made the news in Mathews, Virginia! I think we made such an impression at the General Store, they felt they must tell everyone! Here is the link!
Now I love the picture they used!
But as I was reading the article, something in the second paragraph caught my eye... "Asthmagirl's love song to hard cider". As much as I would like to take credit for having written such a song, and as much as I do enjoy hard cider and might have indeed written a song about it.... let's set the record straight. I have not written a song about hard cider.
Until now.
I have to live up to the hype! I know I'm no Foolery or Soup is not a finger food, but bear with me!
An Ode to Cider
To the tune of Paperback Writer, by The Beatles:
Dear Blog Festers-I can drink no wine...
Nor yet your cold beer even with a lime...
There’s a drink I like but is it on your coast?
If we find enough we can drink a toast!
We can drink a toast cuz you know I love the hard cider!
Love the Hard Cider!
If you like the apple we can try some more...
There a peach I like and its fun to pour....
The nectarine is a stellar brew ...
And the raspberry?! Let’s toss back a few!
Let’s toss back a few cuz you know I love the hard cider!
Love the Hard Cider!
If you really like them, put them in your sock...
TSA won’t find it, their search is a mock...
If the flight is smooth, you’ll arrive to find
The “Sin” you smuggled was worth your time!
Now your friends will laugh because you’re such a dork...
But the cider’s worth it and it’s from New York...
Its taste is complex and it’s not too sweet...
We’ll drink a toast because the bloggers love the hard cider!
Love the Hard Cider!!!!
I wonder when the royalties will start pouring in?
AG out!

Love your poem! How talented! Gotta try that cider...
Lovely. When you're a famous rockstar I'll be all "I knew her before she was famous." :)
OMG mom! That is hilarious!! You were always good at making up your own jingles =) You should send that one in to Original Sin...
May I have your autograph?? ;)
OMGG! After downloading an entire Beatles Anthology yesterday for our next road trip, I can SO hear this song playing in my head.
I think you need to get back in touch with that reporter - you could be a feature in the Sunday edition!!
(and then, as per CBW's hopes and dreams, the movie ball will start rolling).
"I know I'm no Asthmagirl but bear with me!"
This is what I will be saying from now on. And I do have a new song, which was almost ready to post last night but . . . so glad I didn't because this one kicks butt. Of course I had to sing the whole thing in my head, and now I have it stuck. Great job AG!!
You are hilarious! Great photo, too.
This song will be playing in the background during the part of theBlog Fest movie where you're floating in hills bay.
I was going to ask who should play the music but then I realized we have our own in-house musicians...Foolery and Meg and their mad keyboarding skillz.
I'm telling you: this is movie material, and your song is going to be on the soundtrack, along with Meg's and Foolery's.
I think between now and the next Blogfest, we may even end up with a few sponsors!!! Wouldn't that be the coolest! I still want to see if Tyler Florence will come and cook for us.
Oh I am gathering autographs too. I need yours before we become famous!
I just so love that group shot and cannot wait for the next one!
Stay Cool babe! Love you granny!
HOW cool. But so far not a single bottle to be found in the stores I have visited in NYC .. Mike's Hard Lemonade seems to have commandeered all the shelf space .. but I am going to get more when I visit MPM in CT where it seems they do have this nectar of the goddesses ... meanwhile I still have one left of the 3 I brought home with me .. and I am saving it to drink a toast to Ben's arrival and to you being a MeeMaw!!!!!!
I'm sure you'll get a record deal.
I can totally hear Pearl Jam rocking that song!
