There you have it.
I suppose it was more trivia than a good puzzle, but I can't see a picture of Floyd the Barber without thinking of that stupid song.

The other puzzle is more interesting and a better song. The group that performed it played a fundamental role in popularizing a regional musical genere across the broader USA.

A very old, and very sad love song. It shocked me the first time I heard it, and I get a little teary eyed everytime I think of it. It makes other songs about heart break seem trivial.

Lorry! 🤦
Even a blind pig finds a truffle now and then.
All credit to you. That was good brainwork.

I had nothing on that one.

"No More the Moon Shines on Lorena" is a song told from the perspective of a slave who's love is sold away to another plantation. He never sees her again, but later he hears if her death. Although in her death he knows she is no longer in chains.


Congrats to @Darlinboy for the solution with @Charlemagne1333 playing a supporting role.



BTW, the gold Speedmaster is the 50th anniversary model with "Moonshine Gold"

A product that made its debut 100 years ago, today.

Would no self-respecting woman leave home without it?
