On this part of the journey on Asa’s World Tour of Maine, it felt good to be out of the rain, so we headed to Norway, Maine. Located along the shores of Lake Pennesseewassee, Norway was settled in 1786 by veterans of the American Revolutionary War. It was originally known as Rustfield, not because the […]
Bret Michaels of Poison was in our neck of the woods this weekend. Well technically he was in New Hampshire not Maine. But he did perform near where I was born! As part of his Parti-Gras tour, he’s inviting famous singers to join him onstage. So I assumed I would receive an invitation and backstage […]
As the unrelenting heatwave continues to blanket parts of the country, we once again have rain in the forecast here in New England. At first I blamed Asa for doing too many rain dances, as the reason why Mother Nature won’t share our rain with the rest of the country. But then I stumbled upon […]
We are going from the Heart of Poland to the Heart of the Lakes Region for the fourth stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! We are rocking in Naples, Maine! Named for Naples, Italy, because according to Maine Memory Network, “the curve of the bay by the village resembled that of the Italian city.” The town […]
Asa’s World Tour of Maine continues with Poland as our third intranational location! Poland, Maine is the original source of Poland Spring Water, which has been bottled and sold since 1859. As the story goes, in 1844 after drinking water from the spring for 10 days, Hiram W. Ricker claimed that he was cured of […]
Alright, I admit the first stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine was a bit of a washout by being overly ambitious. Hence why for the second stop we are visiting a smaller venue that is perfect for an up and coming rock star. We are rocking and rolling from Lebanon, the westernmost town in […]
You can’t expect the opening week of Asa’s World Tour of Maine to pass without the debut of a new song! This time it comes with an important message reminding dogs that humans are watching, and we need to be on our best behavior when visiting dog friendly places. So it is our great pleasure […]
Welcome to the first stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine – Denmark! Located in Oxford County, Denmark, Maine boasts a population of just under 2,000, according to the 2020 census, and based on the town website, no one really knows why this community was named Denmark. Asa: Wow, are all those cars in the […]
For years now Asa has been sharing his song parodies and dreaming of going on a concert world tour. Well dream no more, little brother! Your rock star dreams are about to come true. We are proud to announce Asa’s World Tour…of Maine! Alright, so although Dad’s new car is a Passport, apparently that is […]
Wow, just wow. Last weekend Asa did one act of rebellion by bringing his stuffie llama friend to the beach when llamas aren’t allowed, and now he thinks he’s some type of bad boy rebel. Well sort of, instead of singing Steppenwolf’s “Born to be Wild,” his parody is Born to Bring Smiles. Get your […]
