Maybe jumping the gun a bit here, but still...

Just saw this! Best playlist ever for the best reason lately.

Ha - just realized I mistook Annie's post about her early birthday present for this one and thought my previous contribution had been disappeared - oh well, it's a good song and deserves repeating 😄

P.S. Oh dear - it seems Annie's birthday post is now missing...

What??? Someone disappeared my lovely birthday thread with all those wonderful wishes from all those wonderful people! That is uncalled for!!

ETA: There was nothing unpleasant or contentious in that thread and it was full of good sentiments. It really makes me angry that someone pulled it and I hope it gets reinstated soon.

great video.

and see Townes ❤️

It took me a while to figure out what this was about - just like it did for Annie's birthday thread!

The Gambler

I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no that the joke was on me
