Many thanks to Tyke, Aristo, Bacchy, and Spike for your votes. I also appreciated your generous remark, Geting.
Cheers to our hostess, Darla for the challenge and my prizes. I enjoyed TT's song. I actually had an earworm of it last night, possibly planted there by Raffles. The math(s) clip reminded me that our high school courses were very basic.
Till next week

Congrats Mattrom and thanks Darla.
Girls, I’m a big fan of little TT (Two Sparrows in a Hurricane, is such a lovely song).
I was saddened to hear how she’d, allegedly, been treated at the hands of GC - they were, at the time, both off their heads, so hard to apportion blame. However, I could never again look the same on GC. A shame cos his Wichita Lineman left such a marked impact on this young impressionable teenager. Until
then I thought poetry came from books, written by long dead men and Emily Dickinson, but here was a working stiff having such poetic thoughts - the magic of Jimmy Webb. Treat yourselves to Galveston, as JW intended - a whole other song: https://youtu.be/U_YK_L_Fr4Q?si=HK4u-9d_PK20lvHF

[I'm off to plant another ear worm 😁]

Agreed about Wichita Lineman. Always brings a tear to my eye. And Delta Dawn has been an off-and-on ear worm for me since I first heard it way back in high school.
