Had to repost this

I’ve had decent jobs, wonderful relationships, sporting achievement, Bought houses, put big websites live, raised kids, installed a velux window that didn’t fall out.

But, if I’m lucky to have the chance, learning how to sing this song is what I’ll remember in my final moments
Yep. I remember, in the olden olden days of yon, before even yore, buying a monthly (weekly?) lyric magazines such as ‘Disco 45’, and learning songs from that.

My greatest achievement in life, in LIFE, is learning ‘The Lone Ranger’ from Quantum Jump from a similar mag.

Aye. Suggested they start one of their own.

They won’t.
Normally I would never want to draw more attention to someone who's both a bully and obnoxiously delusional. But I believe it's the best way on social media. I wonder if they know that these music challenges are voluntary? There is no excuse for this behavior. None. I'd appreciate a repost, friends.

Day 16 - Letter ‘P’ - The Decemberists - Picaresque

Tracks :-

1. The Mariners Revenge Song
2. Eli, The Barrow Boy
3. The Sporting Life

This album is their high point for me, but their collection is so strong, from early days up to this year’s ‘As it ever was …’

I’m thinking today about what importance an ‘entry-level album’ to a band is.

For example, I discovered R.E.M. through ‘Document’ and went from there. Subsequently, I don’t ‘get’ ‘Fables…’ in the same way, but I note ‘Fables’ is VERY popular in #5albums80sFinal

So …. 1/2

How disappointed do dogs get when you close off access to the dishwasher you’re filling with plates?

My Beagle looked forlorn. For. Lorn.

I almost reopened the door. But. Y’know. Hygiene and work and that. So I didn’t.
