I guess I didn’t discover Malvina Reynolds, as she used to be a lot on WRPI but I re-discovered her today and I’m getting a lot of enjoyment from her music. 📻Like many of the folk musicians of the era, she’s pretends to be a very subversive grandmother. ☢Not offensive or vulgar, just very subversive. And I like subversive people and subversive ideas.👵

The library compiled without problems, although I don't have the dongle for testing at home.
