A Song I Wish I Wrote...

Check these guys out... currently overplaying them on my ipod...

Biblecode Sundays, Bottle Slammin London Irish Rock... fun and good. Ronan MacManus, Elvis Costello's brother is in the band... how can you not like an Irish Rock act with Elvis in the family?

The song is Boys of Queens... written by Andy Nolen, the band's accordion player. Won't top the charts, but it made me smile with all the mentions of the neighborhoods I grew up around... Woodside, Rockaway, Breezy... and it is the 9/11 song that perfectly fits the New York Borough.

All you Queensies... give it a listen...

Just one final look around this bar lie a million broken dreams
But I ask this time will I ever get to come back home to Queens
