Several months before the coronavirus pandemic began, the Trump administration eliminated a key American public health position in Beijing intended to help detect disease outbreaks in China, Reuters has learned.

“Here You Come Again” – released by the inimitable Dolly Parton in 1977 from an album of the same name – was actually (unusually for Dolly) written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, and has lots of fun modulations. We didn’t really have time to do full justice to it, as we wanted to smash this out rapidly, in time for Inauguration Day, and in response to the first speech of the 47th President of the USA (which aired in the evening UK time) - as it’s a parody about the return of The Donald. Sorry the sound quality's a bit 'old school' as our music laptop (with only recording software) is currently under repair as the screen's knacked! Normal service and audio will resume, hopefully, soon. In the meantime, enjoy the celebration vibe if you are a Trump fan, or a massive life-optimist, and stay warm out there in the places that are freezing not burning up. Here's to many of the good promises being fulfilled - though forgive our European scepticism/worry/framing about the possible gulf between words, actions, and consequences. ___________________________ Support us here: - PayPal to leave us a tip jar: https://paypal.me/marshfamilysongs - Patreon for ongoing support & bonuses: https://www.patreon.com/marshfamilysongs Find our other channels here: https://linktr.ee/marshfamilysongs Follow us here: - https://www.marshfamilysongs.com - https://www.facebook.com/MarshFamilySongs/ - https://www.instagram.com/marshfamilysongs/ - https://twitter.com/MarshSongs - https://www.threads.net/@marshfamilysongs - https://www.tiktok.com/@marshfamilysongs - https://bsky.app/profile/marshfamilysongs.bsky.social - https://artists.spotify.com/c/artist/6AYmbCwi92V29y69lkRkRa/ ___________________________ LYRICS Here you come again Just when there’s a chance to bring it all together You talk of civil war, just like you’ve done before The oligarchs 'round your little finger Here you come again Just when climate change reverberates about you You drill down on the lies, more carbon in the skies And lots of eager cronies you can farm it out to Golden Age for who? For ending trials? For builders of walls and fences? The ‘unifier’ you is hard to reconcile With someone who remits the Capitol offences! Here you come again Panama you’re claiming that you have a right to It’s not an “open door” – you’d have to start a war, (The thing you said you’d end) But here you go! All you gotta do is nod and smile And there go Ukraine’s defenses Just leave it up to you and watch the world recoil We’re stepping back in time - to tariffs, blocs and trenches Here you come again Claiming you were saved by God (not like McKinley!) To roll back all the years, to break some new frontiers: A golden age of fears … so here we go! … Here we go And here we go And here we go Here you come again And here we go Here we go, And here we go Oh. ____________________ THANKS SO MUCH TO OUR PATREONS, AND ESPECIALLY OUR HOWLERS: Alyssa Sangeeta Jacobson Memorial Fund Andy Riches Carol Leff Cliff Hope Dan McColm Dave Lee David Patrao David Ryan Derrick Brown Dorettas Dozen Douglas Lind Frank Sanderson Grandad Lew LisaMarie Fitzpatrick Mike Smith Naresh Nagella Peter Green Richard Boultbee Sandra Vernooy Simon Haslam Geeta & Karen
