Proud To Be A Charlatan (song)
So, a good friend, who I will call Bart here to protect the innocent, plus I don’t know his phone # or his address to truly dox him and put his family at risk, mentioned after I just re-posted my Orange Album of Beatles parody tunes from back in 2019 (a pretty damn fine collection… Continue reading
