Three Beautiful Things 12-08-2021: Debbie's CDs are Online!, Snow Tires, Laetrile and Covid

NEWSFLASH: Debbie's cds are online. If you'd like to hear them, go click here and go to her Bandcamp page. Going the Distance and Ninety Miles Out feature songs Debbie wrote. 

If you have children in your life, Come and Go With Me is Debbie's album of songs for children, all traditional folk songs. 

1.  Earlier this year, I uploaded Debbie's cds and got started creating a bandcamp.com site for her, but I reached a point where I needed Debbie's input to finish it up.

The project has been on hold for a while, but today Debbie and I buckled down and finished it! 

Debbie's two original cds and her cd of traditional folk music for children are all available for limited free listening and for purchase.

2. I'm feeling pretty frisky about the Sube. Today, the guys over at Silver Valley Tires put the snow tires on it. 

3. If you don't remember the late 1970s controversy over the cancer drug Laetrile, you can listen to the 4th episode of the podcast series, One Year: 1977 and hear the story. The episode focuses on Chad Green, known back then as Laetrile Boy and his parents' legal struggles to treat his leukemia as they saw fit and not have him treated with chemotherapy. 

If you listen to this episode, you'll immediately see the through line connecting the Greens' story to current controversies rising out today's arguments about making one's own decision about masks and vaccines during the Covid pandemic. 

The episode confirmed for me that history doesn't so much repeat itself as it's a way of seeing continuity.
