That makes it: **Team 1** 😃 🙂 🙂 🙂 **Team 2** 😃 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 This being on the other side of the world thing (at least the _other_ side relative to the side I assume most of you’s are on) does have its advantages. Just about makes standing on my head all the time worth it! Whelp, new topic time. Thing is, seems none of you are awake, and it’s no fun playing with myself…song thread game-wise. I’ll kill some time by running through all the topics we’ve done so far. The research may take a few minutes, so…\ _ **DISCUSS** _ ---

That little band was all a part of living, And our only means of living at the time, And it wasn’t like no normal family combo, 'Cause **Daddy** Frank the guitar man was blind._ And there is absolutely no significance that these songs also have **man** in them. 😃 ---
