Help wanted.

Can anyone identify the clothing worn by the young woman in this portrait photo by W.T. Furniss who is buried at Wardsend.

It looks like work wear e.g. munitions worker (the period is right) but the scarf/neckerchief and fascinator(?) are a bit of a puzzle.

The current #thetenx5 lists flying around here are killing me when it comes to shortlisting for my #WeeklyMusicCall. Even without those, there's a lot of great regulations at the moment.

The correct answer in the Tringham version of the universe is Wir Sind Helden's Nur Ein Wort.

Though try Emily Galavez too, who is extraordinary.

Oh, didn't know this was available as the medley. It's something that irritates me about shuffle, as you get them individually.

I hope to find out if I'm going to be a grandfather or grandmother tomorrow, as it were.

One potential piece of news, in the latter event, made me cry.

Hello Chris. As I'm late to these, have you done Stevie Wonder on Sesame Street, strutting Superstition? The funkiest thing known in this universe.

Good call.

I'm going for Madame George at mine. They will need to hear a nine minute reverie about a Belfast drag queen.

This is something I've loved for years. Do you know Dave Marsh's fb Heart of Rock & Soul? I found it through that. It was a guide track for Wilson that someone fortunately bootlegged in the '70s.

That first Kravitz single and album is great. Much prefer it to when he went skywards.

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.

The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.

Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue.

Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

I first came across that Friedrich on the cover of a Penguin collection of Nietzsche. I guess he'd be a big fan of The Tangerine Toddler?

A bit disjointed, but that's my thoughts for you.

A high percentage of Curtis's songs were touched by magic, and this is definitely one.
