Pickleball Again, a pickleball parody sung to the tune of Margaritaville, by Jimmy Buffett!


Pickleball Again, a pickleball parody sung to the tune of Margaritaville, by Jimmy Buffett! Sing Along to this one the words are there you know the tune!
A fitting song for the unveiling of my “pickleball margarita” artwork (and pickles the dog sitting in a margarita) both seen in the video alongside the mermaid plus some vacation clips taken while on a Pickleball Getaway (and also some local clips). Thanks to all the friends and PROs who let me take video clips and photos to share randomly as I need them ❤️♥️.

To all the Points I've lost before!

 




This PicKleTEL parody  has been rolling around in my brain for a long time 
and it was finally time to put a little reel together for it!  

Thanks to Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson of course for the fantastic inspiration song for this parody, 
(To all the girls I've loved before). 

(a dark side of pickleball, this is not about "pickleball")

 



I've tried to help this company understand that simply calling something "historical" doesn't make it so. 

They either don't like what I have to say, or just don't care because my information seems to be getting deleted.
I took a screenshot this time because I wanted proof that the information I was sharing was fair and factual. 





I went to check this morning and as predicted I guess they didn't like my answer because my helpful post was gone. 






It can also be found on Washington State Legislature’s website. Joel M Pritchard An Oral History, is a 444-page document compiled by former Sec of State Ralph Munro and has a complete profile on pickleball’s history.
In Appendix C, page 402, The Genesis of Pickle-Ball, Joel Pritchard talks to interviewer Anne Kilgannon about the sport’s name. https://app.leg.wa.gov/oralhi.../pritchard/pritchardfull.pdf





So in order to get the correct history out there I was inspired to make my own art, based on the actual dog Pickles who is shown in the Bainbridge museum and also in books. (my tongue is as red as that telling text is from biting it, my fingers aching at the keys for all the words I want to add.....but I digress)
