I&#8217;ve been off the Top40 teat for so long that I can&#8217;t even tell you who&#8217;s playing what on the radio unless there&#8217;s been some kind of scandal. The musical world I live in just doesn&#8217;t have a word for the likes of Miley and Britney. Or, if it does, it can&#8217;t be mentioned on a family-friendly blog. Which isn&#8217;t to say that the music I listen to isn&#8217;t accessible &#8212; just less frequently accessed. I&#8217;d like to change that, and I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy at least some of what I post here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Oh, and if you want a different experience, just use that little floating menu thing to the right and click on &#8220;All Knitting Posts&#8221; or another option.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Featured Artist: <strong>Garmarna<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D_dJjJ2H-i4?rel=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t remember exactly when I got into these Swedes.
