We're back! I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas break.
Like Little Baby Jesus and his parents I spent Christmas night in an inn. In my case it was a Days Inn at the back of a Welcome Break services on the side of a motorway.
Weary travellers were guided there by the lights of the Starbucks drive thru. But an even brighter light shone from the open air laundrette at the side of the car park, where shepherds washed their socks by night.
Here are some songs about shepherds and laundry.
"Shepherds Arise" - Oak
"3 Wise Shepherds" - Prince Jazzbo
"Launderette" - Vivien Goldman
"Laundromat Blues" - Albert King
Love it! You wanna add ‘Laundromat’ by Rory Gallagher to that playlist?

DeleteI only promised 'some' not 'all' songs about laundry. I was doing to be comprehensive I would also have to add:
DeleteChinese Laundry Blues (George Formby)
Dirty Laundry (Curtis Mayfield/ Don Henley)
Down At The Laundromat (Black Randy)
Song Of Doing Laundry (Chinese folk song and considerably more authentic than George)
Dry Cleaner from Des Moines (Joni Mitchell - stretching the rules a bit)
And no doubt many more
