Samstag, 3 April
Commentary: The selection of last Saturday's R.B.D.S.O.T.D. is pending due to difficulty remembering what song we were singing on the march towards the Ethiopian restaurant at which we had such a lovely dinner. All I can offer in my defense are the words of the inimitable Dr. Johnson, "There is a wicked inclination in most people to suppose an old man decayed in his intellects. If a young or middle-aged man, when leaving a company, does not recollect where he laid his hat, it is nothing; but if the same inattention is discovered in an old man, people will shrug up their shoulders, and say, 'His memory is going.'"

Mittwoch, 31 März
Katiä, "The Minstrel Boy" from Can't Stop the Love Sled (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: "The Minstrel Boy" is a weird song to sing softly to a little baby, but it was the first song that came to mind when I was holding The Squeak. Do I love "The Minstrel Boy" on its own merits, or is my affection for the ballad a mere extension of my deep & profound love for a good man, Miles Edward O'Brien? Thank you, Chief.

Dienstag, 30 März
The Pogues, "A Rainy Night in Soho" from The Best of The Pogues (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: 'Twas a rainy night in the Lower East Side, not a rainy night in Soho (that was Monday), but close enough for our purposes. In any event, The Pogues are almost certainly referring to the real Soho in London, not the faux Soho on Manhattan.
