I made myself a sno-ball
As perfect as can be.
I thought I'd eat it as a snack
And make me less hangry. -

SHEL SILVERSTEIN
Inside Shel Silverstein
1970 U.S. reissueA record (and artist) with very deep roots from my childhood.
I (like MANY others) grew up on the holy trifecta of Silverstein’s books; Where The Sidewalk Ends, A Light In The Attic, and Falling Up.
I was completely unaware that he was a musician and had albums until I was in my late teens, when I started seeing them in record stores and thrift shops.
Inside… is a reissue of his 1962 album Inside Folk Songs, and the material has the same quirky, humorous and biting humor as the poems from his books.
In fact, two of these songs ARE in Where The Sidewalk Ends; “Boa Constrictor” and “The Unicorn”, the former which was covered by Johnny Cash.
To this day, whether it’s his albums or books, Shel still makes me happy.

Since it's a cold and snowy day, and I'm still playing with T+L inks, here's some Shel Silverstein to show how they look in writing on Tomoe River paper.
Every one is a stub or flex nib. From the top down:
- Fomalhaut in FPR Jaipur v2 w/EF UltraFlex
- Aldebaran in the same type, but reversed
- Regulus in TWSBI ECO 1.1 Stub
- Antares in TWSBI ECO 1.1 Stub
- Aldebaran again, but not reverse
- E=mc² in Prera CM
- Quantum in Parker Vector FI -

Okay, so Tune Tuesday's theme is "My Golden Oldie" - your oldest favorite song.
So, I am not sure if this is fav oldest recorded song or just your oldest favorite song...so, I'm going to give you both.
Oldest song that is a favorite, "How Great Thou Art." This classic hymn was written in 1885 by Carl Boberg and translated to English by Stuart K. Hine in 1949. Here's a recorded version from Elvis Presley https://song.link/i/402051946
Oldest favorite recorded song? As silly as it is...Johnny Cash doing the Shel Silversteen classic "A Boy Named Sue" (1969). https://song.link/us/i/251002659
