on this day

Ditty a Day #17: IBM

On this day in 1981, the IBM PC debuted, thus changing the way humankind interacted with computers (OK, I’m exaggerating, but still). Let this ditty stand as a warning.

Ditty a Day #16: Hulk

I’ll come right out and say it, this one is just silly. Keeping with the “this day in history” shtick, I was delighted to find that today is Hulk Hogan’s birthday.

PS, there isn’t a single real guitar in this track!

Ditty a Day #15: Boat Fail

OK, we’re back on track now with the Ditties. Today I was at a total loss for what to write, so I decided to do a “this day in history” ditty. And I found the ridiculous story of Vasa, a Swedish warship that sank about 100 meters from shore on its maiden voyage, August 10, 1628. It’s a ridiculous story, and I thought it needed to be told as sea shanty, naturally. Pay special attention to my expert mandolin stylings on this one. Yyyyyeah.
