Music Monday’s originated at The Tattooed Book Geek‘s fantastic blog and has shown up hither, thither, and yon since then.


Having a grandson is doing strange things to my shopping and entertainment algorithms. One of my grandson’s favorite musical genres is Sea Shanties–yeah, I know it’s not the fad it was a couple of years ago, maybe if his parents let him have TikTok he’d be hipper. But The Longest Johns is one of our collective favorites, so I was fed this two days ago as part of a “New Release” playlist, and I had to use it today. I just love the fact that I’m being introduced to a song called “Whisky Is the Life of Man” because of my 10 month-old-grandcritter–and I haven’t even introduced him to Lagavulin yet!!!
(nor will I until he’s of a legally acceptable age, I rush to say on the off chance his mother reads this)
