Time to dig out the Groundhog Day Carols!
Groundhog Day is coming around again; It's celebrated in the U.S. and Canada every February 2nd.
As folks begin to anxiously anticipate an end to the Winter season, it's time to haul out a traditional batch of tunes honoring an often under-appreciated friend of ours.
Whether viewed as folklore's harbinger of Spring or as maligned garden pest, whether as a euphemism for a
triflin' woman (?!?), as merely a handy lyrical device or just plain good eatin', the groundhog stands tall in American song.
HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!!

My birthday is February 2 and I am amazed at the number of people who give me a blank stare when I tell them I was born on Groundhog's Day.
For your work to correct this appalling situation, I salute you!
Doesn't this happen at Gobblers Knob?
Happy Birthday Craig! I predict six more weeks of celebration...
Craig, do you live in a sunny clime? Ever since I moved to LA, I've noticed that not many people know what groundhog day is. I think it's only celebrated where it snows heavily.
Donna:
Born 'n' bred in Buffalo, NY!
And if we don't know about long Winters, then who does?
In Crowd:
Thanks! Now, if I can just avoid that pesky shadow...
