“Tam Lin” is a spooky story song performed by Bob Hay & the Jolly Beggars. They were an offshoot of Squalls, another Athens,GA band. They performed the music of 18th century Scots poet Robert Burns on bluegrass instruments. I love listening to it this time of year.

I celebrated my 70th birthday yesterday last night at home. My husband made dinner & a small carrot cake.Here I am with my oldest daughter. That I wasn’t able to make it to a No Kings protest was my only regret- watched the coverage on TV & then watched UGA win. Thank you for peacefully protesting.
