A collision of great(?) ideas
Whether or not this collision could be an actual success story that perhaps the jaws of life (represented by the community at large) may need to rescue, remains to be seen... or heard.
- Enter the summer season and tourists seeking out the ideal cheesy Cape Cod (but made in China) souvenir.
- Enter my own trip to a tourist hot spot and the unrelenting need to get "something" to remember it by and having the aforementioned dilemma of the genuine article.
- Enter a recent amusing conversation I had about Cape Cod businesses and their catchy cheesy jingles heard on local radio past & present. You know! Like Thompson's Clam Bar, The Glass Rap and Capeway Cleaners!
- And the final ingredient in this mish-mash recipe for the greatest "Cape thing" since cranberries and the Cape Cod Tunnel Permit is my own secret desire that has never been divulged. Yes, it's true. I am dying to be a singer in a cheesy Cape Cod jingle. I can really do a mean Thompson's Clam Bar!
Ok this is where everyone who has ever lived on or near or visited Cape Cod and has listened to the radio and has a much better memory than me can help! Oh, and all you radio stations and businesses too! Please, please help compile the best of the best and the best of the worst Cape business radio jingles and advertisements from past and present. These need to be preserved on a CD for the BEST AND MOST GENUINE CAPE COD SOUVENIR EVER!!! Who wouldn't buy it! The perfect gift for the kid going off to college! The perfect party background music! Stocking stuffer! My proposal if this ever comes together is that it would be done not for profit, but for the exclusive benefit of something completely Cape Cod. (open to suggestions!)
PLEASE ANSWER THIS PLEA!
P.S. All I want out of this deal is to maybe have the opportunity to do a karaoke version of Thompson's at a local establishment once they get their own most excellent karaoke version of the BEST AND MOST GENUINE CAPE COD SOUVENIR EVER!!!

Since going satellite two years ago, I mildly miss the cheesier Cape radio commercials, which are so bad they're good.
It's funny in the winter because they get twice as long for their money, so they pad the ads with unnecessary details--"Our delicious menu has appetizers, a wine list, and a full array of delectable desserts."
Haven't heard the Beehive ad.
The Golden Anchor (Dennisport)
The Pancake Man
Oh, here's one..... "Sail away from Falmouth, sail away on the Island Queen"
Speaking of Ad's, if I here Rich Covington of Ford of Hyannis say..."hey Rich, you must have a factory connection" one more time..... I'll kill myself.
Of course he has a factory connection, he sells the damn cars, so dosen't every other Ford dealer.
It might be more fun than the beach... but more than likely it sucks just like the ad does!!!!

About This Blog
Fascination of the small things in life compels me and propels me. Being an American I guess I'm in contradiction for much of what the U.S. stands for, you know, the biggest and best and most of everything. Maybe it's because I am short. Anyway, the old adages/clichés: great things come in small packages, less is more, it's the little things that count, the simple life is the best life, etc., all ring true for me. It is my sincere hope that others begin to hear those same tiny bells. This is the official start of the minutia movement that hopefully others will embrace
