Every time I hear a Pogues tune I ask myself why the HELL do I not have any of their material in my library. One day I’ll correct that shortcoming….
Fan of well written songs, it’s all about the lyrics for me. When the character limit permits, I make every effort to use proper grammar and punctuation. I’ll try to stay away from politics and religion but I’m not promising anything.

Did the little fella get off of his leash again? Ya might want to check nearby furniture stores….
Haha! Had James consulted me, it would’ve been….
✔️👊🏼
Hey thanks man. Mayall was the real deal; there weren’t many artists taking on this topic with a Blues twist. How very fitting
Yet another club championship trophy for the Oval Office mantle, coming up!
“Shakin’ it here boss, shakin it”
It sure did; an unforgettable moment in Major League Baseball history. He was so banged up, he had difficulty even getting to the plate before tearing the cover off of the ball.
Yep!
Logistics plays a big part in my good fortune. My proximity to the USA, Detroit Michigan, to be specific has allowed me to catch some damn good acts. My willingness to travel further afield certainly hasn’t hurt either.
Listened to this great album front to back a hundred times when I was just a kid. Years and years later, I got to see Mayall live; it was like watching an old friend on the stage.
Mum’s the word
👊🏼
A good’un!
New to me; nice stuff.
What a f’n great album eh! Nice call.
👍🏼
A fountain of information 👍🏼
👍🏼 Nice opener
👍🏼👊🏼
#MotherNatureSong Day 1 Kicking off the month with one from an artist who influenced and even mentored MANY artists, the late great John Mayall “Nature’s Disappearing” youtu.be/MzUVk1Fho5g?...
Wow, what a dick!
“The president lacks the authority to take either step.” He also lacks the physical ability….
Thank you, it would appear that one of both of them have me blocked. I take no offence, pretty sure I’ll survive the trauma.
Bravo! Encore!!!
For those of you who don’t recognize it; Ya have now. You’re in the middle of living it.
How bout let’s NOT and say you are.
May I ask who hosts the “read and play” challenge?
Look, I’m an outsider and I most definitely not a supporter of the orange imbecile but it absolutely astounds me that identification has never been a requirement to vote. There can’t be many countries on the planet that don’t require identification of some kind in order to be able to vote.
Thorn is legit!
An excellent read verifying what most people already know; there’s no “maybe” about it, trump is a fucking moron.
A splendid closer! 👊🏼👍🏼
With respect to the Longhorns mishap, it’s a non conference game; use that to lift your spirits a tad. 🤘🏼
I hear ya.
Lovely
It’s a winner!🏆
Right on! I was thaaaat close to posting this song.
👍🏼👍🏼
Great tune! No link…
👍🏼😊
👊🏼
😊👊🏼
Yeah McDermott’s delivery is flawless on this timeless beaut. The Irish community has embraced and held this song close to their heart. Little known fact, it was written by an Englishman. It’s been a buzz sharing and learning good tunes with you. On to the next challenge! 👊🏼
#LookAndSee youtu.be/1JK0Z6IdLF4?...
I’m thinking you’re right about that.
Duly noted.
Fred was no slouch.
Man that cooks dadio! 👍🏼
👍🏼 Yes, because he earned and deserved it (unlike some people).
There's a Bob Dylan song for every occasion
Fuckin’ eh!

Great post!
Excellent! Saw these guys on an episode of “Son Of A Critch”. I put a message out to 4 of my sisters commenting on the episode and this band. My eldest sister replied with “yeah, I had one of their cassettes”. Who knew!? Aside from her that is…
👍🏼
👍🏼
Just HAD to look this one up on YouTube as I’d not heard it previously. A great selection; nice closer to the challenge.
#FirstNameInSong Thanks for hosting this wonderful challenge! Day 31 This one was used earlier but I had it slated for the closer and it’s my favourite of what I call kitchen table music so I’m posting it John McDermott “Danny Boy” youtu.be/L18LyT7N_Sw
Eh?!
Relax everyone; he’s probably just off for the long weekend winning yet another club championship….
In a good way! 👍🏼
Very glad it strikes a chord with you and many others it would appear. Spread the joy.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
Special stuff indeed.
HOOOOOOK’EM!!
👍🏼
Or just sidestep them the way one walks around hog shit in the farm yard.
We’ll soon be seeing a couple of teslas up on blocks beside the huge (tipped over) satellite tv dish on the west lawn with the mandatory broken trampoline and caved in pool…
Money, ill gotten or otherwise, does not buy class. The Oval Office is now as gaudy and hideous as mar a lago.
He has defaced the Oval Office. Disgusting. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...
Aside from the gaudy tasteless decor, he defaces it with his mere presence.
Agreed !
Blew me away!
Yeah 73% approval rating; that would explain why he needs red states to carry out his gerrymandering directive. He’s so popular that he needs more seats. Right this heinous wrong in the midterms America. Trump is ruining your country and several others as well.
Thanks! And to you as well
Incredible aren’t they!
Lololol haha!
Damn they’re great eh!
Loolol Only to hear a busy signal after you catch your breath
I meant to extend the courtesy of letting you know I perused the experiment and this is far deeper than I thought. I sure wish your presentation had been videoed. I grasp things far better when they’re expressed verbally.
Lolol if it was a rotary dial; you’d have to stretch and loosen up first before attempting that number
2/3’s of the people reading this googled “landline telephone”.
“Everything’s cool honey bunny”
Haven’t heard this one in a long while; nice call!
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
Similar Hell! Those three benches look identical; it’s as though they were cast from the same mould.
Hell yeah!
Absolutely! Not gonna lie , I was expecting some bastardized hip hop version which I would have nay say’d in the comments. Man was I wrong!
I was gobsmacked when I heard it. I had already cut and pasted a link to a Pavarotti performance of it but changed my mind and rather easily I might add.
👊🏼😉
You said it!
A pleasure to be able to share it, so glad you enjoyed.
👊🏼
Who knew? You did!
👍🏼
A great choice!
I thought the same thing. 👊🏼
You bet!
I hear that!
#FirstNameInSong Day 30 I’ve heard this song many times but it’s the first time I’ve heard this rendition. This quartet does a banner job with it: Ave Maria youtu.be/dRzI8y-EJJ0
