Or your the next time you want to pop down to CK's for bread and milk,

Or for wearing while watching Strictly Come Dancing

OR for your whole choir !!  (Yes, that would be epic.)

What is this bo awesome must have thing?

Well...


the shirt shows 'The Man of Wales' by N.C. Wyeth on the front


And the lyrics from the song 'The Man of Wales' on the back.
Note that the images are much sharper on the shirt than what you see here.

Both from an old children's music book.

Here's the lyrics:

 ‘When a Welsh man stamps, when a Welsh man tramps, there’s a sound of pebbles falling down the rocky ramps. 

When a Welsh man hoots, when a Welsh man toots, all the rabbits run to cover in the stones and roots. Oh, a rugged land is the land of Wales from heights of Snowdon to the Dovey vales. 

When a Welsh man stamps, when a Welsh man tramps, there’s a rattle and a clatter in the mountain camps.

 When a Welsh man scowls, when a Welsh man growls, all the eagles gather screaming, and the red fox prowls. 

When a Welsh man fights, when a Welsh man smites, there’s a rumble and a clangor like the squall of kites. Oh, a doughty man is the man of Wales, at his fierce demeanor every foe-man quails. 

When a Welsh man scowls, when a Welsh man growls, there’s a panic in the kitchen, and the hound dog howls.

The Tuesday Song of the Week

For some reason I thought this song came out way before 1978.

1978s was VERY disco-intensive, and this joint is classic R&B.

'Back in Love Again' - L.T.D.

I wanna ...

or rather, 'I want..."

And I thought an ashtray from a funeral parlor was nuts.

Our Lady of Ransom was a church in NE Philly that closed in 2016.  The school closed in 2012.

The ashtray remains.
