Following the last blog in which I mentioned Paul McAree, I received this inspiring email from….’yer man himself’ He began it,

‘Wow Paul

I just listened to King of Summer…as of hearing it fresh for the first time again. O my! You really played a blinder the day you wrote this song. You must’ve had your Weetabix and said your prayers that morning! Definitely my top pic’ for my ‘Desert Island Discs!’ A cinematic vision of heaven for the poor sinner, just after drawing his last breath here on earth. An extraordinarily vivid cinematic scriptural vision of heaven, perfectly depicted in your lyrics. As I recall you recorded it in one ‘take’. All credit to young Paul McAdam who plays the Irish whistle and pipes, culminating in the ‘Celtic orchestra’ on the last verse, including the bodhrans (Irish drum), on our stripped down instrumental arrangement. We recorded this 30 years ago this year in my little studio above the legendary “American Bar”, just a stones throw from where the Titanic was built and launched in Belfast, 111 years ago this year! Like a good wine, this song never grows dull, but with time just gets better and better!

“Fill your mind with thoughts such as these!”

Thank you Jesus!
🙏Paul☘️

PS You know there were seven clergy men on the Titanic, Catholic and Protestant, who stayed with their flock that day. All of them went down with the ship, RIP. Father Thomas Biles was invited onto a life boat, at least twice. He chose to stay and minister to the souls about to die a terrible death, just after midnight on Monday April 15th 1912, far from home in the freezing North Atlantic. It begs the question; what would we have done? Surely all of them saw the Beatific Vision that morning! As we, and our loved ones before us hoped to do in their time. Come Lord Jesus.’

When we recorded O Ireland 30 years ago, in Paul’s little studio above The American Bar, little did I know our family would subsequently find themselves actually living in America and sharing those same songs every Sunday for the first 5 years in…..an American bar, in fact in no less than The Titanic Lounge of Kieran’s Irish pub!

Between our live sets ‘O Ireland’ would provide the background music as we mingled and met with the folk Father has brought through the doors that week to be exposed to the ‘goof news’ in an Irish cultural context.

In fact not only did we worship in an American bar, but we can be seen in the photo above eating and drinking last week at the American bar of The Anchor Fish and Chip Restaurant owned by our son Luke! Our final fling together before Abby, Stephen, Luke and Tom headed back from home to home.

We realized at the time of recording O Ireland how prophetic it was that God had appointed a ‘prod’ Paul and a ‘fenian’ Paul to ‘make music together’ at a time when our unredeemed ‘tribes’ where literally killing each other! Paul mentions the third of the Trinity of Pauls our Father assembled for the project. Our gifted Irish musician, Paul McAdam, at that time as far as I knew was not professing any faith in Jesus.

Wow I believe stands for, the Wonder of Worship….. of a God who can bring together a prod, a fenian and a prebeliever into a divine harmony in order to create a glimpse into the ‘kingdom of heaven’ ……..that is already here, and yet is coming still. (Is. 9:7)

At a time like this when those with eyes of faith see the arrogant ‘Titanic’ (and Titan) of this world’s Babylonian kingdom (Rev. 18) leaking and rapidly sinking, how encouraging for this ‘Beatific’ song with it’s story and setting,, to float as a ‘lifebelt’ up to the surface once again😀

The question remains,

‘Will your Anchor hold in the storms of life? ‘

Thankfully the answer comes,

‘We have an Anchor that keeps the soul

Steadfast and sure while the billows roll

Fastened to the Rock which cannot move.

Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love!’

Or in the words of a present day hymnist…….

P.S. If you look carefully at the photo above you can see three other Kyles in the top left corner. That is a photo of Joel and Grace at their ‘Groom’s dinner’ that happened in The Anchor before their wedding celebration last year.

And that young chef? Why it’s none other than Roy Kyle on his second shift😀

I was talking to Paul McAree the other day and he said that this summer he had been listening to The King of Summer and thought it was maybe his favorite of all the many songs we’d recorded together. He was a mite surprised when I replied, ‘Me too’

I love how these blogs keep us connected to many friends all over the world.

After last week’s offering beginning with Good Morning Dad, I got three messages from three friends, one in New Zealand, one in Ireland and one in Canada. Each of them had or were currently going through very challenging personal trials.

The line came to me from another of my songs,

‘……but open hearts, open heaven’s door, to see and hear and touch and feel all we’ve been longing for’

It is this ‘beatific vision’ that these three people have been given that inspires and sustains them.

Then on listening to the song again I realized it too builds to bring us to the same place……

‘ My Father’s smile, Jesus’ embrace,

The Spirit’s kiss. We’re face to face

Man and God at last are one.

Salvation’s work, has now been done.’

Take a few minutes to sit back and listen.

Relax, and open your heart again to this blissful reality, that,…….‘the King of Summer’s here’.

Last night 7 of the older and younger Kyle men went together to see Sound of Freedom which has become a #1 box office smash in the nation.

It is an incredible movie with many poignant moments. One that stood out for me (spoiler alert) was when the rescued child Rocio wakes from sleep and turns to see her father’s face. As the camera lingers our hearts swell with theirs. This is the joy our Heavenly Father wants all his children to know as they behold His smiling face.

‘On that brand new dawn we say,”Good Morin’ Dad!’

A few blogs back I recommended watching The Great Awakening which I believe is also being used to ‘waken up’ millions worldwide, from a ‘hypnotized’ state. If you haven’t seen it yet you can watch it for free at, Plandemicseries.com

In a recent enlightening interview with the Director, Mikki Willis, he describes his personal journey out of this hypnotized state as he participated in Hollywood, ‘the environmental movement’, and politics, to also awake to a real reconnect to God, creation, humanity and family. Here is the link…..

God is literally ‘the bottom line’ in both the movie and the interview.

Someone else I have linked to over these last years in the blog is J.P.Sears. AwakenWithJP is his website and in a recent video he also gives a great sharing about his personal journey back to God.

P.S. A tip. I personally go to speed settings and increase to 1.5 or faster, to move through these longer videos more quickly.

I’ve been ‘a runner’ all my life. As a schoolboy I was a fairly decent sprinter, 100 and 200 meters. As an adult I then began appreciating long distance running and was lead to do 2 marathons. Brian Caruth and I crossed the finishing line of the iconic New York City marathon in 1997, and then Sam Cox, Joel, Ben and myself completed the Twin Cities marathon in 2006.

That is why I found it interesting that in Jeffrey Prather’s book Initiation, running was used by his Apache mentor as one of the ways in which he would be taught about how to best journey through life as a man.He learned how by combining the correct minimal footwear (in the form of moccasins), right breathing and physical and spiritual posture, it was possible to endure over a long distance.

I implemented what I had been reading about, as I ran some distance, barefoot each morning for those few weeks, along the northwest shore of Belfast Lough.

Then a few weeks ago Robin sent me a YouTube link to Dr Sean O’Mara. This wise doctor of Irish extraction who just happens to live in Minneapolis, also talked about moccasins, but in his case it was not about using them to endure over a long distance but rather using them to excel over a short distance

He was advocating, that no matter what age you are, you should be sprinting in moccasins! His science backed up by personal experience made perfect sense to me and encouraged me to take my ‘interval training which I have been doing for years to the next level.

Immediately I went to the website he suggested of a local moccasin company, and ordered a pair.

At the dinner table that night I eagerly shared my new knowledge, but the moment I announced my purchase I realized how rash my decision to purchase the moccasins had been.

First off, amongst our Dakota guests was Raine, an expert moccasin maker who should at least have been consulted.

And then of course there was my wife…..

‘You already have a pair of moccasins!’ Hilary exclaimed.

‘I do?’ I replied.

‘ Yes. Did you forget. Carolyn gave you Mark’s pair.’

Early the next morning I retrieved from the back of the closet a pair of very fine moccasin boots. They fitted perfectly, so I slipped my set of BFR bands into the pockets of my running shorts and set out, warming up with a gentle jog through the woods.

Then at the farthest point, I turned and put on the bands. Tension just right, I was released by the imaginary gun to speed along the track on my almost bare feet counting sixteen labored breaths before easing to a gentle walking pace. A minute later, I sprinted again. Then again and again twelve times.

The question I pondered was, ‘To endure as the genius Indigenous or to excel as the ‘enlightened’ European?’

I concluded ‘Not an either/or, but a both/and.’

My thoughts returned to the strange turn of events in American politics where some are speculating about how Donald Trump representing traditional conservatism and Bobby Kennedy representing traditional liberalism might work together? In a recent interview Colonel Douglas McGregor commented that what the two had in common was “authenticity’ and this was something ordinary people recognize and are looking for.

All the while praying, I was brought back to the one whose moccasins I was wearing, and what an honor it had been to inherit them from this marvelous son of God, taken from this side, and now on the other side’

Now I was indeed, in God’s time, ‘running in another man’s moccasins’.

‘Judge Softly’ is the name of the poem written by Mary T. Lathrop in 1895 known for the famous line, ‘walk a mile in another man’s moccasins’

At Mark’s funeral I was privileged to sing on his behalf,

“ I open my eyes. I see your smiling face.

Warming my heart, ‘Good Mornin’ Dad’

There others described, how the message Mark’s life lived on this side left us with, was simply…..

Never Judge. Always Forgive.

To which I would add the message Iris Mearns brought back when she returned from a visit to the other side, and scribbled on a chalk board….

Give Thanks.

It was a few years ago when the Lord gave me “The Innocents’ song. The above is a ‘one take’ recording on my iphone looking out our bedroom window.

I listened to it again today after watching the interview with the courageous Jim Caviezel on Elijah Streams, about the long awaited release of the movie Sound of Freedom, appropriately over this 4th July ‘Freedom’ holiday.

Several times Jim used the term,‘The Innocents’ – the name of the song. The line that stood out to me in the chorus as I listened afresh to it was,

‘The time has come’

The time has indeed come as another line in the song says, ‘for the silence of the lambs to give way to thunder’.

Another line that came alive was, ‘The shepherd came and found His sheep……love was the answer.’

God is using men like Tim Ballard and Jim Caviezel as real life expressions of his shepherd‘s heart to seek and save these exploited children. He wants to use each one of us too.

‘Wake us up from our sleep from our slumber.

Break our hearts for these ones who are plunder.’

Please listen to the song again. Let God break your heart as you click on the link below and listen to this most compelling interview, and then book your tickets to be part of God’s thunder that will help rescue the 2-6 million children who have until now been ‘led to the slaughter’ each year, for ‘The time has come.’’

This instead, is what we want for our children…….

We had some excitement at The Big Green House a few weeks ago.

‘Fire! Fire! Call 911! Call 911! ‘

Robin had discovered the clothes dryer in the basement was ablaze!!!.

We had a houseful of guests. I dashed to the smoke filled basement where Robin was frantically pouring water into the flaming appliance. Realizing that water alone was not going to quench the fire, Hilary sprinted (Yes,I mean sprinted!) up the stairs to the top apartment, that she had just been cleaning. She knew for sure there was a fire extinguisher there.

She ‘passed the baton’ to Rudy who was following close behind, and who then rushed down the three flights to dowse the smoking appliance and kill the flames’

‘I’ve had to do that a few times before, on my truck.’ He said calmly

Sirens blaring and lights flashing the emergency services arrived Holywood style. The whole neighborhood turning out to watch the spectacle. The crisis however had already been happily resolved.

Adrenaline flowing, the extended household congregated around the kitchen island, with rapid fire colorful personal accounts complementing one another, all punctuated with relieved laughter and expressions of deep gratitude to God!

With a little more distance the fiery dots began connecting for me…..……

I had been flowing in unity and prayer with Rudy and Tanner, the two brothers pictured above, in the Upper Room, when the fire fell. Now where have I heard that before?

Then there was the recent blog about Ashland and the prayer and the promise about the fire arising in America ‘…..and once again God’s love proclaim, a burning heart in Jesus name.’

And of course the new song ‘Light the Fire.’ by Dana that had arrived fresh from Ireland via Paul McAree.

God promises ‘Call on me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you and you will glorify me.’ (Ps.50:15)

God will continue be true to his word both on a personal level and on a national level, until His holy fire which is his glorious love, covers the whole earth, as the waters cover the sea.

Father’s Day, in the absence of my children in our home, I got to do my favorite thing – make my wife happy😀

I helped her clean.

As I was doing it, as a bonus I got this next blog. Father said,

‘It’s a clean up operation”

Yes no matter how bad things may appear to be in the world out there we know it was all sorted, 2000 years, i.e. 2 Days ago.(2 Pet.3:8)

As Johnny Enlow says repeatedly in his Unfiltered series, we as God’s people have just been slow on the uptake to exercise the ‘All authority in heaven and earth’ that he received and passed on to us. Stephen Jones complements Johnny’s perspective with his amazing studies at Godskingdom.org about timing, as time did need to elapse for the kingdom to be fully given to ‘the saints of the Most High.’ as we now happily enter ‘the third day’

Now we are at that monumental time in history and it is time for God’s people to ‘get up to speed’ and ‘get with the program’, a they become the answer to the prayer, “Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’

I won’t elaborate because Johnny and Stephen (see my previous blogs for links) teach the ins and outs of this stuff much better than I do.

I’m happy to just be ‘an encourager’ …..just as I am when I am changing the chair covers or tablecloth or vacuuming the floor for my beloved😀

Make your heavenly Father happy, by engaging fully with Him in His ‘clean up operation’ ‘on earth… as it is in heaven.’ – first in your own life and then as He gives opportunity in the lives and world he has placed around you, ‘for such a time as this.’

We now realize that one of the reasons we were lead to come to ‘Turtle Island’ was so that we could learn from the First Nations, who were given to be the original stewards of this piece of God’s real estate (Acts 17;26)

Last Friday we had the privilege of attending a ceremony where two young girls took the step into womanhood. This involved a time of preparation including fasting and prayer and instruction by the older women. It is said to be the most important of the 7 traditional Dakota ceremonies because everyone is ‘set in their place’ e.g. the men as the guardians outside the tepee where the girls come aside for three days.

There is not a corresponding ceremony for the boys, however I recalled the book Initiation by Jeffrey Prather that had a profound influence on my spiritual life a few years ago when I first read it while in Ireland.

I pulled it off the shelf again to review all the underlined parts and my margin notes.
Therein was a section where the Apache Medicine Man who trained the young Prather, echoed from their tradition what I had just been learning in my Dakota family…..

On Sunday morning we had a Kyle family birthday celebration and as we sat around the table honoring one of the mothers, I felt I should read the above quotation. Then Asher (6) raised his hand.

‘Yes Asher’ I said inviting his comment.

“ But what about the sperm?’ He asked earnestly.

After the uproarious laughter died down we continued our family education with several wise inputs offered in answer to his great question😀

This ancient wisdom is so relevant in today’s ‘world’ which would force us to accept that a man can have a baby!

Another profound quote I came across was this piece of conversation between Jeffrey and his Apache teacher……

‘How timely!’ I thought……..in the light of what is now coming to light!…….as articulated for example here by Tucker Carlson…….

After the ceremony some new friends from the Reservation spent a few days with us at The Big Green House. Sounding them out about the last few years in conversation one said of ‘the jab’ They offered us a big pay increase if we would take it, but I said,’The government have been lying to us and trying to wipe us out for 500 years, so why should weI trust them now?!’

When I later relayed this to our friend Bill, He said,’ Yes. Now we’re discovering we’ve all been living on the Reservation’!’

Wakan Tanka means the Great Spirit. John writes about the Spirit that has been given to believers. “But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.”(1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭27‬ ‭ESV)‬‬

As Tucker Carlson points out, deception is ripe everywhere with shifting characters all the time. How are we to know who and what is true (even Tucker?) and what is manipulative propaganda?

John advises we abide in him and stay close to the one who walked in humility and openness and we will move beyond mere opinions to true discernment as we seek to hear His teaching, no matter through whom whatever vessel it may come.

One more lesson we learned in the school of Wakan Tanka is illustrated below……

The girls are taught that moving from childhood to adulthood means that you moves from being a ‘taker’ to being a ‘giver’. Therefore for months before the ceremony they and their mothers spend time and money making gifts for ‘The Give Away’ to honor those who attend who have had a helpful influence in the lives of the girls.

Hilary and I were so blessed to receive this spread from our ‘adopted daughter’ Raine and her daughter, Mni who is pictured above with another of our granddaughters, Saachi, who grew up, together with Mni, in The Big Green House. They are enjoying their traditional feast of wild rice, buffalo, fruit……and fry bread (shucks you can’t get everything healthy😀)

Following my last post inspired at our grandchildren’s school Rivertree, our English cousin, Barry, who ‘co-incidentally’ lives ‘just down the road’ from The Bard’s home in Stratford-upon-Avon, sent me a ‘co-incidental’ article about Education.

it was a BBC report on how a Utah school district had just banned the Bible because of ‘violent and vulgar’ content. I have learned that when the Babylon Brainwashing Corporation chooses to report something as ‘news’ it is often because under the veneer of objective reporting there is in fact a dark agenda of advancing the very thing they want you to focus on. In this case, the banning of the Bible.

I chuckled because what is described as ‘vulgarity and violence’ is simply the earthiness of real life that neither Shakespeare nor scripture shy away from anymore than they shy away from the issues of morality, of what is right and what is wrong. Both texts are therefore an excellent preparation for young people in learning about the ‘not so nice’ aspects of ‘real life’ and how to best handle them.

I recommended the Johnny Enlow Unfiltered series, especially from Episode 55 onwards. Here Episode 60 deals with The Mountain of Education in the ‘Seven Mountains’ revelation, and how it has been usurped by ‘the enemy.

https://www.elijahstreams.com/watch/watch.php?ID=1358

Isaiah 60 begins, ‘Arise and shine’ Johnny’s latest book RISE is an acronym for Reformers Influencing Society Every day.

Plandemic 3. The Great Awakening* by Mikki Willis at Plandemicseries.com also gives helpful insights into how, by the ‘capture’ of this mountain we have ended up in such ‘dire straights’ as the human race.

Johnny’s spiritual biblical insights give the divine foundation and Mikki Willis’ historical, political and psychological insights give a practical foundation for a way forward.

As we Awake and Arise we have a unique opportunity to co-operate with God’s rescue plan to bring his creation, ‘Back to the Future………beyond Eden’

Both of these perspectives helped me understand why so many highly ‘educated’ intelligent, Bible believers have been ‘hoodwinked’ over the last few years revealing a greater trust in a Lying World than in the Living Word.

The scripture, ‘unless you become as a little child you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven‘ is alive to me in a new way, as we value the ‘’childlike’ right brain, the Hebraic way of thought, and escape the Mass Formation as described by Mattius Desmet, not just of the last few years, but of millennia!

I appreciated being taught clinical medicine at Med. School, but never heard about The Flexner Report and the influence of Big Pharma in the training of doctors, nor about the Prussian model of education to train up good assembly line workers, both to serve the wealthy elite of the day rather than the people or practitioners.

Thankfully learning about these things now, I can appreciate more fully the blessing my grandchildren are receiving through a different educational model at Rivertree.

The Rivertree man of Psalm 1 knows the secret to fruitfulness is learning the art of meditating on God’s word day and night’ to apprehend God’s ways for God’s world. From first grade Shakespeare sonnets are part of the Rivertree curriculum.

Let me share with you a most encouraging encounter I had at the Shakespeare festival.

Peter and his wife and family had been lead several years ago to ‘launch out in faith’ from their safe and comfortable existence in Minneapolis, just as we had launched out from Ireland 28 years ago. Their destination was the northern Wisconsin city of Ashland.

There they have by God’s grace been establishing another school like Rivertree, based on the Ambleside model. They gave a glowing report of how God was on the move in that area and new life was springing forth!

A few months before they moved north, through an amazing sequence of ‘God-incidences’ we had been invited to go to Ashland. When we arrived doors opened for us to bring a message to three of the denominational churches, including Salem Baptist Church that Sunday.

On the long drive north, Father had given me the message. Again it was a ‘childlike’ play on words. I was to sing an ‘O Ashland’ version of my song, ‘O Ireland’ ………as a prayer, that ‘out of the ashes’, God’s glory would again shine forth from Ashland.

The last verse goes……

‘The dove now hovers o’er your head

Only in Jesus could you ever be

One in heart completely free,

And once again God’s love proclaim

A burning heart in Jesus name’.

I shared the message again at a breakfast on the Monday morning. After singing the above verse, the Tribal chairman from the Bad River Indian reservation who had been listening attentively, picked up a paper napkin and began to draw on it.

‘What is that?’ He asked me.

’It looks like a dove.’ I replied.

“Yes.’ He said. ‘But can you see it is also the shape of Lake Superior?
And here is Ashland, where we are sitting……..with the dove hovering o’er our heads!’

He continued ,’Our creation story says this is where the world began as fire came out of the sun rose up in this place…………..Do you see now how significant the words you have just sung are?’

The week after our visit, Salem Baptist Church sanctuary was literally ‘turned to ashes’ by an arson attack. All of it that is, except for the cross. One of the firemen had directed his hose toward the cross throughout the blaze.

The cross alone came through the fire.

“So where does the new school meet in Ashland?’ I asked Peter.

‘ In the ‘new’ Salem church building ‘ He replied.

‘Wow!’ I responded

(I noticed that around that time the church name changed, to simply, Salem Church Ashland…..representing a transition from our abominable denominationalism to becoming the answer to Jesus prayer, ‘…….that they might be one.’)

I’ve often heard the phrase recently, ‘Everything they told us is a lie’

Certainly everything we have been and are told needs to be questioned. When we are secure in our identity as Sons of the Most High God we can do that without feeling threatened and with confidence knowing he will, as he has promised, lead us into ‘all truth’ ……at least all the truth I need to know to fulfill my calling as a faithful son, and you need to know about the Script-u-are

A few days ago Stephen Jones wrote on his in depth blog series on the meaning of the numbers 40-80 in the context of the book of Psalms…….

https://godskingdom.org/blog/2023/05/the-meaning-of-45-part-1/

‘As a side note, when the KJV was being edited in the year 1611, Francis Bacon was the final editor. Bacon was also the author of the plays that were published under the name of William Shakespeare. When Bacon came to Psalm 46, he took note that this was the center chapter of the Bible. He put his cryptic mark upon it—his signature, of sorts. The 46th word in the psalm is “shake” (Psalm 46:3 KJV), and the word “spear” is the 46th word from the end of the psalm (in Psalm 46:9 KJV). The King James Version, of course, is written in Shakespearean English.’

A few years ago I might have dismissed such an idea that it was Francis Bacon who authored “Shakespeare’s’ plays as a nonsensical ‘conspiracy theory.’ Now so many ‘conspiracies’ have proven to be factual, I am open to anything, and in particular to listening to people with proven character and a good track record who challenge my current belief system, because the one thing I do know is how very little I know, and how I need to keep asking questions and looking for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…….so help me God!🙂

Thankfully, “Everything He told us in Scripture is true.’

……Including the promise that, ‘The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.’ (Hab.2;14).

Then our Education will be complete😀

Sir Francis Bacon (I presume?)

I sat with the last blog, ‘Homlette’ for a few months before releasing it. Little did I know that last Friday Father would reveal it was the first in at least a 2 part ‘Shakespeare Series’.!

We attended The Shakespeare Festival at RiverTree, our Grandchildren’s school.

Hamlet was playing that night, but in the afternoon, our grandson Ivan was playing the Shepherd’s Son in ‘The Winter’s Tale’. I was not familiar with this, a lesser known work than Hamlet, but as one of the final lines was uttered, it all ‘came together’ for me………

‘You precious WINNERS ALL’

And so Father gave me for this play to an equally quirky title as ‘Homlette’ rather than Hamlet, in “The Winners Tale’ rather than ‘The Winter’s Tale!’

For just as Hamlet ended with all the lead characters dead, so in contrast, this play ends with all the characters, alive, nay!….. even risen from the dead!!!**

Hence the ‘‘Yeshua“ Reprise came to mind that I opened this blog with.

The song identifies the broad swath of humanity, those ‘the world’ deems ‘successes’ or ‘failures’ but which contains a line that asserts YESHUA’S victory …….even over death……on behalf of us ALL.

……….’a song that can make us ALL WINNERS tonight.’

That in turn tied in with the ‘Good Masters. Sweet Ladies’ recitation that our granddaughter Isla participated in which had each of the children play the part of a particular medieval child from the daughter of the Lord to the professional beggar, from the flea ridden dog keeper’s daughter to the miller’s son, each with an earthy, real life story, full of pathos (and not a little humour)

At the end they lined up and together recited ‘Quoting Shakespeare’ illustrating how ubiquitous in our everyday speech are phrases originating from The Bard……

………and now, for your further education, edification, encouragement and enjoyment is the rest of the song…….
