Oh, thank you for that! It was a delight. I needed cheering up, especially since my lovely old Pirate dog just trekked something in all over the carpet that .. was not mud. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Blog you have! I will bookmark it and return as I can!
ReplyDeleteVery good posting as always.
ReplyDeleteYou turned me on to Fretkillr around Christmas and I spent too much time poking around and enjoying his enormous talents (strumming, picking, fretting, singing, and playing the harp). He's also a nice guy. If you contact him he writes back. The tune you picked has been an earworm all day: stuck in my ear.
ReplyDeleteWarning: Don't listen to Fretkillr's "Up a Lazy River" unless you're completely immune to earworms.
Oh Jay. How did you get it out? :-(
ReplyDeleteThank you e. Welcome! Come back again!
Thanks Alden.
Dan - 'earworm' - what a fantastic word! I've been humming 'Would you like... etc' for about a week now. Yesterday N. said to me 'Please, please Mum, learn the rest of it! I'm sick of you singing just the first line!'
'Up a Lazy River' sounds the perfect song for the post I've presently writing!
PS How did you contact him? I didn't think he responds on the comment area... but maybe I didn't look properly.
