This weekend Metallica will be taking their M72 World Tour to New England. Did my manager, Chuck Billy, arrange for an invitation from the band for me to join them on stage? No! Chuck Billy didn’t even get me a single show ticket! Such a pity because I worked really hard to write my first […]
This week your roaming band of rovers on Asa’s World Tour of Maine are in Rome, Maine. Settled around 1780 by a person from Lebanon, Maine, Rome was incorporated in 1804 and named for the ancient Italian city. Although as far as I can tell, this tranquil community has very little, if anything, in common […]
This week Asa’s World Tour of Maine is coming to you from Bath! Located near the mouth of the Kennebec River, this area first attracted European settlers in 1607 at the nearby Popham colony. Alright, so they barely lasted a year before heading back to England. However, not to be deterred, more Europeans eventually returned […]
WHAT? Sorry I can’t hear you over Asa’s caterwauling. Tomorrow, June 7, 2024, Bon Jovi will be releasing their new album, “Forever.” It’s a tradition in our home that every time Bon Jovi releases a new album, Asa and Mom must celebrate by playing all of their previous albums. In 40 years, according to my […]
Today we are starting Asa’s World Tour of Maine 2024 in Wales! According to Maine: An Encyclopedia, it was settled sometime around 1773 by European colonists from Wales in Great Britain, and incorporated as a town in 1816. I also found a reference that it was once briefly called Bloomingboro in 1780, but officially changed […]
We are excited to announce that Asa’s World Tour of Maine 2024 will be heading out on the road this week! Just like last year’s successful world tour, we will be visiting places in Maine named for countries and famous cities around the globe. Along the way, there will be exploring dog friendly places, hiking, […]
The Rolling Stones brought their world tour to New England last night. Unfortunately, despite practicing his moves like Jagger, Asa did not receive an invitation to join them on stage…or even to be in the same stadium…or state. Not to be deterred though, we are moving forward with the release of Asa’s parody of the […]
Studies show that humans remember things better when set to a familiar tune. They also say repetition helps to retain information. Therefore rather than our usual post reminding folks that dogs must obey the leash rules, today I’m resharing Asa’s song on the topic. So grab those leashes and sing along to Asa’s parody of […]
In light of Asa’s surprise bath, he somehow talked me into sharing one of his B-list songs. As his manager, I tried to convince him that there was a reason why we never released this parody sooner. The chorus of this little ditty has been around for years. In fact, Asa sings it after every […]
For anyone concerned that we would miss the opportunity to share one of Asa’s parodies in honor of Bon Jovi’s 40th anniversary and the release of their documentary, “Thank You, Goodnight,” fear not! Just like Jon, we also went into our archives to revisit timeless classics. And what better parody to look back on than […]
