The Lemming 27 Dec 2016

The idea is simple, all you have to do is provide a YouTube link to a tune which has some sort of link to the song before it.

And no matter how tenuous the link, you have to include the link why you chose the tune.

I'll start off with our Phil.

BTW

Its bad luck to break the chain.

While reading the navy and varied reviews of filters, one thing made me curious as I'd never heard of before.

Is it true, that if you use a filter for an urban landscape, you can almost eliminate the passing people to create a seemingly empty scene?
