Another week, another Song of the Week and today for the two hundred fiftieth time!
Wow! I think, my own astonishment is always the biggest when I think about those numbers and that the series still is running.
Well, I didn't look for a special song for this jubilee, I just chose the one that caught my ears right in the moment. (I know, that's not proper English but I guess you know what I mean.)
It's a track by the Washboard Rhythm Kings and the more advanced listeners will recognize the melody or at least part of it from other tunes with different names.
