Isn’t it interesting that the poem scans wonderfully as a Spoken Tarantella, but composer/arranger wisely realised that it would in better taste to do something completely different for a musical treatment.

I wonder how many colliery bands and choirs survive now.

Tarantella by Hilaire Belloc

Sung by Eastwood Collieries’ Male Voice Choir and taken from the vintage 1984 album, In Harmony.

With a name like that, it has to be a Welsh choir.

She is probably right. I don’t really care. Since I am long past the ability to pick up my pitch fork and march on the castle, or take to the barricades, I will tilt at windmills.” – Oldflyer

Today, AesopSpouse and I seriously discussed what we would do if our suburb gets as crazy as the City.
We are turning 70 soon, and having just helped one son move south, we are not enthused about going through that upheaval of our own comfortable nest.
However:
We will empty our bank accounts to move our other kids, if there is anywhere left to move them to (small town in Texas is the first plan, away from any Metropolis).
If there’s any way to join them later, we will.

Now I know why the elderly Jews stayed in Germany even after they knew they should leave.

A purge can be spun. “We drove off half our customers” doesn’t exactly admit of much.

It is my understanding that he had that in the works if he had not won in ’16.

YES molly brown: Trump has announced his intentions to create a new social media outlet

Between Roku and Philo, no more money to the cable networks.

My ‘child’ works for one of the ‘biggies’ and has the same fear.
I do hope Trump starts an alternative media. It is my understanding that he had that in the works if he had not won in ’16.
But we need a lot more than that.
We need a new Patriot party to replace the GOPe, an Article V COS and – secession.

TJ, my daughter who lives and works in suburban Virginia is quite worried about purges. She has no social media presence. She hopes her employer will not require affirmative endorsement of some kind of critical race theory manifesto.

A realtor we know is concerned about purges from the Realtors national association for outside-of-work connections or statements.
