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”

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 […]
