Last week's diary featured two songs: this one by Peter, Paul and Mary…
… and this one by Holly Near:Welcome once again to Sunday Puzzle Warm-Up, a weekly opportunity to have a little fun and to get your brain in gear for the regular Sunday Puzzle (which posts Sunday evenings at 8 pm Eastern time).
I'm away until September 13th, harvesting blueberries in Maine, but I've queued up a series of Sunday Puzzle Warm-Up diaries to entertain you until I return.
NOTE: This diary was supposed to post on September 5th, while I was away for blueberry season, but the gremlins removed it from the queue in order to post one of their puzzles. (They claim I gave them permission to do this 5 months from now.)I've re-queued the diary to post tonight instead, which actually works out well because I need to be away again this weekend.
I told the gremlins they need to apologize for tampering with the diary queue during my absence. They promised to do so, and I had thought I'd be able to include that in tonight's diary. But now they say they want to wait until next week, so it can run in a diary when I'm not absent. So instead of providing their apology to run in tonight's diary, they provided a puzzle. Look for their apology next week...
The theme for these diaries is Summer Songfest. These diaries spotlight a noteworthy song in the puzzle and include a YouTube clip of the song featured in the previous week's puzzle.Except last week's diary featured two songs (one from me and one from the gremlins), and that's the case again tonight. There are clips of last week's songs at the top of this diary; and you can find out what tonight's two songs are by solving tonight's two puzzles...
ADDITIONAL NOTE: The subtitle of tonight's diary ("It's About Time") was provided by the gremlins and relates to their puzzle. Neither the diary title nor the gremlin puzzle have any connection to my Summer Songfest puzzle (so please don't waste time looking for one).The gremlins tell me that their puzzle relates to their apology (for meddling with the diary queue during my absence), which they say they'll give to me in time to include in next week's diary.
