Playlist Corner: Happy New Year!

HAPPY 2021!! As I'm sure you agree, may it be a safe, kinder new year.

But more specifically, in the words of Tony Camargo in El Año Viejo (I will never tire of this), I hope it brings you:

"a little goat,

a very black little mule,

a very white little mare,

and a nice mother-in-law."

You know - what really counts.
