Starting this week, Golden Valley Patch is going to be featuring local bloggers on our website.  We're so excited about the new program that we're actually singing about it.

Contributor Dillon Roberts, a singer and songwriter, put these words to music.  Using only his guitar, good friend Jon Lerner and an iPhone, he's putting our message out in a whole different way.  We hope his words inspire you to share your ideas by blogging with Patch. 

Lemme tell a little story bout a site called Patch
Where everybody goes to get their daily dose of facts
And organized information, to fill your quota, and
See what’s going on in Golden Valley, Minnesota.

We’re all part of one big community;
An online family growing like a tree.
So sign up, log in, and blog along with me
Share your knowledge and your thoughts
Let your mind run free.

Now you might be young and you might be old.
But everybody’s got important stories to be told.
You might be a well-known writer of fiction.
Or an armchair pundit mad at a politician. Hey!

It doesn’t matter, share your thoughts with us
And we all learn a little, sit back, and discuss.
Cuz we’re all part of one big community;
An online family growing like a tree.

So sign up, log in, and blog along with me
Share your knowledge and your thoughts
Let your mind run free.
