BLOG SUMMARY for 2018 (and part of 2019): Sequentially Silly Songs and Satire

BLOG SUMMARY:

Nothing that's remarkably new here, other than some order imposed on the chaos. But, it did take a lot of work to summarize what we had concocted for the previous calendar year.
 Having accomplished this task, we thought - "that's a good idea!", so a similar project has been completed and is available here for 2017 song-lyrics. And at some point down the road, we will complete similar summaries for our wordplay blog "EDIFYING NONSENSE".
In the meantime, with a touch of probing, you can find most of this information in the righthand thumbnails found on all the blogposts -- just click on the year and month to reveal the linked titles!

Technical Note: Each jpeg 'slide' embedded in the blog is protected and cannot be linked, so the hotlinks are listed under each slide. Click on those profitably, sing along and enjoy!   Giorgio.
