to CherryTripping ~ (missed this comment from last year)! Due to the humourless and UNAPPRECIATIVE..LOL.., I just got brought back to the post and so see it now. (Cheers for that).
The record company caused the mismatch, no one likes that happening. I got no time for those people posting telling me to be a good doggie, and just quietly take the whole thing down, like nothing happened. That's weak.
Glad you liked it, yw ☺ ;-j
