Link-a-palooza

Being on vacation, I just can't bring myself to sit down and compose the next chapter in my first cross-cultural mission experience or write about the latest mangling of the English language perpetrated by SweaterGal and FlatulenceKing (my parents, with whom Beloved and I are staying), so I'm being absolutely lazy and reproducing for the Almost the Truth fan base (all both of you) a list of interesting links that I keep updated on my FaceBook page...

MUSIC IN GENERAL

Adam Ben Ezra doing a suhweet solo upright bass cover of Come Togetherhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOkYMw5-ZMg

James Taylor's song, Fire and Rain, makes me feel kinda like the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter.
