In the latest migration to a new virtual private server, some of the links to images in the earliest posts to this blog were broken. If you encounter one of these broken links, please let me know. I have backups and can restore the images.
There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.
Afterthought:
Why do so many of today’s female pop singers choose to sing in voices that sound like little girls?
I mentioned this to my friend today, and she has the same wonder.

It’s not just today. Check out any Marilyn Monroe song performance. Check out the woman who did the voices for Betty Boop, whose name I’m spacing out on right now, but her record of “He’s So Unusual” was big hit 80 years or more ago. Root around in those corners of YouTube, you’ll find hundreds of examples.

Good point!
You’re probably thinking of Helen Kane, who I would have thought of, but I did a web search after reading your comment and found this.
But the little girl voices seem to be almost epidemic these days (not that I pay all that much attention to popular music any more–Benny Goodman and Rimsky-Korsakov are more my speed).
And thanks for visiting!
