Friday Favorite Feature 27 — “Smile for Me (Angel Eyes)” by Halversongs aka Halvor Songs
This week’s FFF is music, which has been the usual for awhile. This tune, however, is a little mysterious. I found it on SRR, but all I could find on it was the blurb on Spotify. Neither was it available via YouTube, so I was forced to create a playlist with just that song on…

Always looking over her shoulder on day errands and never venturing out at night, menace lurked as her companion….
Friday Favorite Feature 23 — “Pull at the Chains” by Shaky Odds
Here’s another tune from SRR. I think Shaky Odds is based in The Netherlands. From the blurb at both Spotify and YouTube: Shaky Odds was founded by ‘Rusty’ Ron Hein, chance survivor of a foregone century, who pursued careers in accountancy, tax and tech before finally deciding that music might be even more fun. His…
