WTF! Springs into action!

Hi gang,

Finally... and not a moment too soon... SPRING arrives on Tuesday
so... on Friday, March 22nd, WTF! will welcome spring in all it's many
incarnations. Bring whatever song, tune or tale that springs to mind.
Spring it on us! We love surprises!!

                    *********************************************

                    According to the OED...
          the word SPRING has many variations.
                            Among them...

1. the place of rising or issuing from the ground; the source or head
of a well, stream or river; the supply of water forming such a source.

2. the action or time of rising or springing into being or existence;
the appearing or coming on, the first sign, of day, morning, etc; the
dawn. Also, the beginning of a season.

3. a young growth on a tree, plant or root; a shoot, sprout or sucker;
a small branch, sprig or twig; the rudimentary shoot of a seed.

4. rise, beginning or birth (of something)

5. an elastic contrivance or mechanical device, usually consisting of
a strip or plate of steel (or a number of these) suitably shaped or
adjusted, which when compressed, bent, coiled or otherwise forced out
of its normal shape, possesses the property of returning to it.

6. some kind of dance; a tune upon the bagpipes or other musical
instrument; especially a quick and lively tune; a dance tune.

7. a snare or noose.

8. to change place or position by sudden and rapid movement without
contact; to move with a sudden jerk or bound; to dart or fly.

                    *********************************************

So... as you can see there are many ways to look at SPRING. It's not
all mud and slush and thawing doggy doo although... it would be wise
to put a spring in your step as you bound over what's springing up
under your feet. But should you make contact, you can always clean up
at the spring and put your feet up on your bed springs to dry.

WFT: K(n)ight of the Living Trad, with Sir Bill Plaskett

Next Friday, March 8th... WTF! goes Trad!

Bring songs, tunes and stories either from traditional sources or inspired by the traditional. This will be a night to surpass all nights as our gregarious guest host Mr. Bill Plaskett is a Knight to surpass all Knights. Please see the photo of the illustrious Sir Gadabout Galahat if you have the slightest doubt.

"Let the projectiles come!" commands Sir Knight, "Tally Ho and WTF! Verily I am prepared." Although his fashion sense is without peer, he will not require this suit of armour regardless of the rumours as we will be strictly enforcing our new ban regarding the throwing of projectiles at guest hosts.
So... dust off your melancholy lute... saddle up your milk white steed... and come to where the lusty Lords and Ladies love to meet. You dare not miss "The (K)night of the Living Trad" with Bill Plaskett as the Knight in question or perhaps... the questionable knight??? Come to think of it... the whole night might be in question but it sure will be fun!
