  3. Tomorrow's the big day ~ SPRING! I know it doesn't feel very Spring-y but the sun will return, promise.
    I also promise you'll love Blossom Dearie's "They Say It's Spring"; she debuted it in 1958. By Marty Clark (#lyric) & Bob Haymes (#music), it's got this ten bar refrain that's just the bee's knees. I'm determined to cover it (in my key), make it last six minutes LOL

  4. "It's funny how significance make a difference
    Notice parables of three in every other inference"

  6. My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero.

    That's why with only ten digits including zero you can count as high as you could ever go!

    Forever, towards infinity...
    No one ever gets there, but you could try.

    Mr. Morton wrote
    Mr. Morton is the subject of the sentence
    And what the predicate says he does

  8. Couch covers the Schoolhouse Rock tune "Conjunction Junction."

    It's funky.

    Even more, the horn section quotes the infamous Kashmir riff by Led Zeppelin. Heavy, heavy!

  9. When I saw the cover of this week's #Economist, I immediately thought of an educational cartoon from my childhood. But I don't think a British publication would base its art on US public broadcasting about US government. Maybe they don't use the same art on both sides of the pond, or maybe what I think of as "the #SchoolhouseRock bill" is a more widespread representation. Either way, I had a nostalgic laugh.

  10. Was anyone else afraid of the King from “No More Kings” 👀

  11. Add this to your podcast queue. A 45 minute look at the Jazz musician Bob Dorough, widely known for Schoolhouse Rock. You’ll recognize the voice immediately.

    But his jazz compositions were adult, smart and humorous, too. Quite a story, and some fun lyrics.
