As so many sites/apps do at this time of year, one of my blog plug-ins also provided a “Year in Review” report for my blog traffic. Now, I should back up and repeat my standard line that I tend to think of this blog as my “acreage in the country” – far away from the […]

The Craziest Edit in Beatles History

I’ve got a mini-Beatles/music theme going on the past couple days (so much so that when I looked at my post about the Mi’kmaq version of “Blackbird” yesterday, I thought it *was* my Music Monday post and I’d somehow missed posting on Tuesday!) Anyhow, to keep the theme going, here’s a YouTube video about one […]
