Songs Of My Youth: Day Nine
Songs Of My Youth: Day Eight
There's a version that Cher sings as well but this is waay better IMHO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgRafRp-P-o
The Music In My Life…
There has always been music around me as far back as I can recall. Mum is one of those people who hums and sings while she potters around the house and while I'm profoundly grateful that my father doesn't, he enjoys having music around him even more than she does. We had a record player... Continue Reading →
It’s Only Words…
Everyone grows up with the lingo of their generation; usually ingrained in their youth. It's a mix of slangs, colloquialism and often, as is typical with kids, some amount of neologisms as well.

While I was going to school, children were... Continue Reading →

Reunited…
Once there was a little necklace. It was very happy and bright. It had rounded beads and was liked by everyone who saw it. It was a very happy little necklace indeed! One day came the Little Grabby Fingered Imp. The Imp grabbed and pulled the necklace towards himself but the necklace didn't want to... Continue Reading →
