How to survive, the folksong way.

As everybody knows, old English folk songs are full of excellent advice (advice that never seems to be taken by the protagonists of said songs). Obviously, they were the pre-film version of those grim safety films kids get shown in school.

And now, Jim Macdonald of Making Light, has condensed all the helpful advice contained in Old English Folksongs.  I recommend all my friends read this, especially if they are named Janet.

Happy Birthday Dancing Shamen!

Wishing you the best birthday today, and many many more.  May this coming year see new hope and opportunities for you!  Because you deserve good things, dang it!
