Contractors like to work on roofs. Don Ohman likes to sing about it.
Pegged "The Singing Roofer," Ohman, who has such hits as, "Please Pass the Asphalt" and "Oh We Like to Roof a House," said he is living a dream after suffering a stroke and having to learn how to play the guitar and sing again.
"I didn't think I'd play again," said Ohman of Burbank, Wash. "It's been a dream."

From the back of his work truck, May Belle, Ohman conducts his roofing business as usual--or unusual, depending on if you like to hear songs like "Keg of Tar."
