BLUE SKIES OF ALBERTA

     Well, apologies to Hawaii for stealing a little of their song. Apologies to Webley Edwards for borrowing from his song. 

     But I just started thinking about "Blue Skies " as song titles or "blue skies" in the lyrics.

     Ella Fitzgerald did a super job on "Blue skies Smiling at Me" Many other people sang "blue skies smiling at me"

    Many other songs have a blue something or other in them such as "Blue suede Shoes", "Blue Moon in Kentucky"

    Well, today I'm not blue. I just happen to have got some photos of our blue skies. We are an oil producing area and our sky can get pretty grungy. Sometimes we get a big wind and there is a complete air change and we end up with blue skies. I happened to stop and get some blue skies on my camera.





     Now can you think of a song with "Blue Skies" in it.

  3. BLUE ALBERTA SKY (first verse)
    by Yorkshire Pudding

    Out on the prairie
    Under the blue Alberta sky
    A sweet little nurse
    Caught a birdwatcher's eye
    "Oh Micro Manager come with me"
    The besotted fellow said
    "And if you'll be my darling
    I will always be your Red"

    1. If my music video production company write a big enough cheque Red, I think you'll do it. You will need to get that beard trimmed before filming commences. This will no doubt please The Micro Manager.

  7. I was thinking of Wilie Nelson when I hear that song,"Blue Skies". Some days that blue does stand out superior to others.

  8. I can't think of any songs with "blue skies" in them, but "There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover" came to mind and stuck there :)

    I didn't know that blue skies can be hard to come by in your neck of the woods; or maybe it would be more correct to say that I didn't know the oil extraction would affect your atmosphere. That is unfortunate.

    1. There are some songs that stick in your brain and that's one of the. They try and clean things up but every once in awhile you see a brown haze over an area.

  9. I love seeing a blue sky every now and then. We usually have clouds most of the time but that' ok too.
