Last week we had the “tagged V”-challenge, so this week we’ll create a new turn with “W” – I’m sure you’ll also find a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “W”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “W”!!! Myself I’ll focus on the word “WHAT”:
WHAT
“WHAT, what have they done, what have they done to my song, ma?” – I’ll never forget this wonderful song by Melanie in the sixties! Now listen what I’ve done to her song – be glad: I didn’t even try to cover her glorious singing…

you made me smile, Naomi, with your ELDERLY PEOPLE sign and pantomime… – good that I’m singing BLUES and not soprano opera – so it doesn’t matter that I’m nearly aged 70.

What is it? Why? Who what where when how is it I can’t play your songs all the time? I tried to listen to the Melanie song, but get this Bring It On Home —– which is terrific. The sound you are getting is beautiful. And what a strength in the voice. All the best, Frizz

One of my ancestors was said to have been bewitched and the poor woman accused, Susanna Martin, was tried, convicted and executed. I have a copy of the death warrant, dated 1692. Horrific times.

I didn’t want to miss the Letter W this week but had to change my original post due to a tragic incident that I believe was noteworthy of posting instead. My next post will be much more joyous. Thanks, Frizz.

not wildlide, of course wildlife, that’s the link that will work:
and if there is a rainbow bridge for that bad raccoon too, I hope he’ll change his behavior on the other side: raccoon behavior [“I googled for information. They do eat snakes and small animals including cats. Their signature killing is to leave the bodies in pieces and without their bottom half of the bodies. It is gruesome…”] P.S.: congrats, Isadora, to your little cats: they had contact with human beings like you before the raccoon saw them. Your writing is the best tribute to a cat live I’ve ever read! So good, that the wound in my heart (I was adopted too, but mistreated then for decades) jumped into my brain again. And I grabbed my guitar singing the lyrics I always sing, when I realize there will be a rainbow bridge for all of us one day:
