Lissa Warren’s father needed a retirement companion while
his wife and daughter were at work. Enter Ting, a seven-pound Korat who
changed his life, and the life of the family. All kittens are
mischievous, but Ting “the cat grenade” was real trouble. She was also
smart, endearing, and the soul of the Warren family.

Bruce Forsyth Lucretia Mac Evil
(Not my text; off of YouTube) -
Yes,
you're reading this correctly. An unexpected cover off the 1973 LP The
Musical Side of Bruce. There's plenty of horns and a great Hawkshaw
style Hammond solo at 1:45 by Don Hunt. Bruce's voice is good in parts, terrible in others but it was worth putting it up for the Hammond.
