--- Quote from: serious crayons on June 19, 2022, 12:29:21 pm ---Just as I read this, Judy Collins' "Both Sides Now" came drifting in the open window, probably from a car. That one does not need a second life. It's a classic, but like "Stairway to Heaven," I liked it the first 500,000 times I heard it.

I'm with you there, hunnerd percent.

Goodbye, Olivia. I'll miss your voice. :'(
