The best stuff is an old craftsperson calmly explaining and demonstrating their obsolete trade, like that welsh stone carver.

It has to be if your name is on it

Now the day I was born The nurses all gathered 'round And they gazed in wide wonder At the horror they had found The head nurse spoke up Said, “Leave this one for dead” She could tell right away That my bones were bad

My bones are bad My bones are bad B-B-B-B-Bad B-B-B-B-Bad B-B-B-B-Bad

My bones are bad

I wouldn’t want to hunt anymore either if I survived the brutality of male lion adolescence

I pop in every month or so. I’ll see ya around!
