Well, hello Gentle Reader! Did you miss me? I'd like to say thanks to Fojap, Tony, Rustiguzzi, James and Chigau for their enquiries, and in one case, T-shirts and snail-mail letters.
Anyways, this is just a quick post to let folks know I is back on the internets. And nothing's quicker than a music post. Here's six on the theme of returns, which seemed apt. As ever, feel free to add your own suggestions in comments, should you wish.

Good to see you DAZ
Oh man, I’m glad to see you back.
Not sure if you’ve been to FtB and Pharyngula specifically, but there have been…changes. The Lounge and Thunderdome/Mended Drum are gone. PZ has chosen to stop hosting social threads (for a variety of reasons, including his opinion that they foster a sense of cliquishness). Because the Lounge was an important social space for a lot of people, I’ve opened up The Relaxing Room at my blog. So far, most of the Lounge regulars have shown up (and boy traffic went through the roof). I know you didn’t frequent the Lounge that much, but feel free to stop by if you want.
BTW, when you get time, can you email me?
Thank you John.
Thanks Tony.
Yeah, I was just catching up with all that; and trying and failing to find the immediate cause(s). I assume they mostly played out on the now-deleted social threads?
I shall send an email forthwith.
(Diggin’ your new avatar pic by the way!)
Welcome back!
Glad to receive a new message at long last!
“The report of my death was an exaggeration.”
Chigau
Fankee very much.

Fankee. I was trying to avoid the obvious ‘Baby Please Come Back’ connotation, but then I remembered this, and i just had to…’
And, of course, where I got my title from…
Who else remembers this?
Sadly, Ms Shapiro found God – or rather Yeshua – in a big way.
An old favourite that I’m sure I’ve posted before. One of Joe Meek’s!

Good to have you back.
This is the first one that sprang to mind –
“Throw down the jam till the girls say when.”
Then, you know, being an old bard-on, I had to include this. (Those of you who went to school in the U.S. are probably thinking, “Well that explains things.”)
Many of those pictures are of the place where I went to school, only it was a lot more run down back then.
Daz, I’ve been damned worried. Worse yet, about every other song wound up reminding me of you and getting me more worried. So, I’ve been listening to a lot of… disco. Have you ever noticed you don’t play much disco?
And… lucky you… show tunes!
Disco show tunes!
And from a musical so new there aren’t even any pirated videos on YouTube yet,
King George to the Colonies:
“When push comes to shove
I’ll send a fully armed battalion
to remind you of my love.”
“You’ll Be Back” from “Hamilton”
Good to see you back Daz.
Me too. Glad you’re back among us.
As for the above music posts, yes I remember Helen Shapiro’s “Walking back to happiness” – what shook me though was seeing Chuck Berry on the label “Senior Musik”. Made me feel really old.
Aye, very pleased to see you back.
Thank you all muchly.
Regarding The Honeycombs: Sorry, but the version I growed up with is betterer…
