Today's #UnwantedEarworm is Don't Cry For Me Argentina.

Thank you

I will recommend them.

Thank you!

They sound interesting! Thank you!

Thank you everybody. That's quite a list, and a nice mixture of authors I had forgotten about and new to me.

This is the sort of wholesomeness social media is good at.
