From 1999 to 2004-ish, I was one of the contributing writers for Garrison Keillor's renowned radio show "A Prairie Home Companion." I learned a lot of things there, mostly how to spell 'prairie." It was a solid gig and I'm proud of my work there. But, like any other job, there were...things...
When all else fails, do a song parody. I'll admit, this thing had been knocking around inside my brain for a while and with the holidays approaching and needing a submission to submit, I finally put pen to scale and wrote it. Song parodies were tricky. They didn't often do them, as I remember, but I did manage to get one chosen for an earlier Christmastime show. Naturally, there are other holidays kicking around, so why not try to create a song for them? It didn't get selected, probably because I kept spelling it with one "a." But now, thanks to AI, I can create a tune for it that is no "Quando, Quando, Quando" (I'm assuming because I haven't created it yet but will post it here when I do).
