YOOPER FEVER

Yoopers, thats what they call themselves here
In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
A different breed fo sho
And they love drinkin at the bar
I thinks it has something to do
with the fact it freezes like Antartica
5 months outa the year here...

Checked out a couple of cool bars last night
Stubb's was a biker bar/ gun museum
Exciting mix booze/barrels

Then I was off to the Shamrock
They had an old guitar hangin on the wall
I asked if anyone played,
Bartender asked me to play a few,
Which I did...
And managed to sell 2 CDs and give one to
a local disc jockey

Twas a good night

Paid $5.68 a pack for smokes today

Twas not so good

In Iron River MI today
Gonna eat a couple pasties
(ground meat and potaoes wrapped in a tortilla
and baked)
Local food of choice
Then listen to see if I am on the air
That DJ promised...
But he was drunk at a bar
Those don't always count you know

had me a French girlfriend, loved the way she talked"
