Music Monday – “I want a new drug, one that won’t make me sick/One that won’t make me crash my car/Or make me feel three-feet thick/I want a new drug, one that won’t hurt my head/One that won’t make my mouth too dry/Or make my eyes too red”

Every single thing I felt in the days after being vaccinated are things I might feel on a typical day – slight headache, minor fatigue, achy muscles, etc. – so overall, think I faired quite well! 😉 “I Want A New Drug” – Huey Lewis

Music Monday – “Do you call it as you see it and you’ve always been that way?/Are you reminiscent of how things were back in the day?/Are you agitated with the young’uns always wanting change?/Well here’s your invite to a group of folks like you and me”

“Support Local” takes many forms.  With the lack of live music, why not support a local musician or band by buying their songs (especially a timely one like this one which also has a great video!)   “Pity Party – Blake Berglund

Friday Fun Link – Apple’s M1 Chip

The announcement of the new Apple M1 chip last fall finally got me to make the leap from using a ~2012-era MacBook Pro which was at the point that it was basically held together with digital duct tape and prayers to buying a new MacBook Air which arrived this week. I’ll likely share some expanded […]

The Roud Folk Song Index

Doing some quick research about yesterday’s post led to me to discover the Roud Folk Song Index which I don’t think I’d heard of before but which reminds me once again (as if I need reminding!), why librarians and archivists are so vital to society (and also interesting, witty and funny!): The Roud Folk Song […]
