This is a short little tune that was inspired by a comment from a co-worker one Friday morning. Standing there at the coffee pot, in response to the usual “how ya’ doin’”, I answered as many of us would, with a “TGIF!” To that he said something like, “Isn’t it funny to think that we just seem to be wishing our lives away one week at a time?”

That comment stuck with me, and I found a perfect use for it here. The song is one I threw together with the intent of creating a good opener for a CD. Well, until that CD gets made, I thought I’d put it here on the blog for your listening pleasure:

“First Shot of the Weekend”

Here’s the first in a series of humorous songs that I have written and recorded for your listening pleasure.

This particular ditty relates the frustrations that I experienced riding out Hurricane Ike in September of 2008. For me, Hurricane Ike was merely an inconvenience; we didn’t suffer any damages. However, I have many friends who, unfortunately, cannot say the same. This song is dedicated to all of those peoople I know who got screwed by Ike worse than I did.

“Take A Hike, Ike”
