Song of the day......

Far Niente's Location 6-29-2010: Still at the Ferry Docks, Irish Boat Shop, Charlevoix, MI

I made reference yesterday to the Eric Stone song It'll be ready tomorrow. If you haven't heard of Eric take a look at his website (www.boatsongs.com) and listen to some clips. Very catchy songs about sailing, island life, the Caribbean.

So today as we wait to get the generator service, I thought the entire lyrics of "It'll be ready tomorrow." were appropriate.



It'll be ready tomorrow
From the album "Trinidad To Tortola (A True Musical Journey)"
By Eric Stone

Three days into my two week vacation still sittin' in my slip
I should be out on the open seas, enjoying my sailing trip
If I can find a way, I'd leave today, beg, steal or borrow
But the mechanics keep telling me day after day, "It'll be ready tomorrow."

Chorus
But I want to leave today, let's raise the sails
I don't care what they say, its time to bail
I know we need a generator so we'll leave later but I am sick of this place where we are though
I think I loose my mind if I hear one more time, "It'll be ready tomorrow."

The mechanics arrive at 8am, and wake me up again
I was dreaming of sailing a nice beam reach, on the Caribbean
But by 11am they're nowhere to be seen, along with most of Jake's tools they borrowed
And I find a note on his toolbox they wrote, "It'll be ready tomorrow."

But I want to leave today, let's raise the sails
I don't care what they say, its time to bail
I know we need a generator so we'll leave later but I am sick of this place where we are though
I think I loose my mind if I hear one more time, "It'll be ready tomorrow."

I know they say good things come to those who wait
And I have had about all I can take
At 80 bucks an hour I thinks it's a crime
To watch these guys work on island time.

But I want to leave today, let's raise the sails
I don't care what they say, its time to bail
I know we need a generator so we'll leave later but I am sick of this place where we are though
I think I loose my mind if I hear one more time "It'll be ready tomorrow."

Yeah right..."It'll be ready tomorrow." Whatever..."It'll be ready tomorrow."
Sure dude...."It'll be ready tomorrow."
