    SOTU 605 - Gold In Them Hills

    I have a mate Mick Blacksmith. He can trace his family back generations to a family of iron mongers (blacksmiths) in County Cork Ireland. I'm wondering what Ron's ancestors did? edit...I was making a slightly rude joke but on googling a sexsmith is someone who makes scythes or similar bladed...

    SOTU 605 - Gold In Them Hills

    I think on Ron's cover site the most covered artist may be Warren Zevon. Just goes to show Ron's good taste. This is there. One of the last ones Warren wrote when he knew he was on the way out.

    SOTU 603: Speed!

    Thanks for the generous theme Sabine. Here's a Randy Newman with a fast beating heart. One of my searching methods for songs is to google an artist I like -the word lyric -then a key word for the challenge...so in this case I googled Randy Newman lyric fast. And this song came up. Not a bad...

    SOTU 602 ... MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!

I know if a song had been written about about Sydney mentioning a suburb in a...

    SOTU 602 ... MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!

    Here's one from Iron and Wine. The official video on Youtube of this is good with percussion provided by a troupe of rather beautiful Flamenco dancers. Alas all the local Sydney Flamenco dancers were taking a siesta when I recorded.
