Yeah, no Sabbath for her. This is great stuff. I’m going to take over the driving soon, so I won’t be responding, but I’ll put a playlist together this weekend and share it here. Keep 'em coming! ---

(for those about to point out that it’s David, not Davie) it was a typo, but due to the Discourse issue with not allowing me to edit when a video is inserted, I can’t correct it even though I was within the edit window) -Raises fist at the uncaring gods of discourse!- ---

Anyway, stretching a point, and pointing to Puff the Magic Dragon mentioned earlier, there are also songs about Magical Creatures. While sappy, I have a place in my heart for America’s [The Last Unicorn](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enq2pFpBz1s). And less sappy, but more fun, the Waterboys [The Return of Pan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFM-noJhTI0). (Picking two from my music library, but I’m sure there are a lot more out there) ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > but due to the Discourse issue with not allowing me to edit when a video is inserted, I can’t correct it even though I was within the edit window [coding side track] When you have to edit a post containing a youtube video, add “&1” without the quotation marks to the end of the video link. Every time you have to edit again, increment the number, so further edits should add “&2”, “&3” and so on.
