  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🎶 A-CHORD-ING TO THEM…MUSIC TO THEIR PEERS…🎶

    🎶Love is lovelier…the SECOND TIME AROUND…🎶…”The Second Time Around” – Mr Frank Sinatra 1961  https://tinyurl.com/yts8wxnr

    🎶The SKETCH we see…a cover band…the song not rock ‘n’ roll,
    (And there’s no way I’m working in COWARD or CAULK or TROLL)
    They just don’t fit the theme here…where this band has definitely scored…
    With renditions oh so perfect…we can see they’ve STRUCK A CHORD…🎶

    The song…REM’s “DRIVER 8”*…and there’s no way this puzzle’s solve got away from us…It’s easily DRIVEN home…

    So…Today, we find Jeff and his lovely bride Kathy listening to a band, who I think might be led by Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy,** covering the above mentioned song…And from our dialogue we GUITAR idea that they’re widely received. And Jeff’s mention of “the guitar sounds perfect” (= CHORD) coupled with the song also being RECOGNIZED (= STRUCK) as stated by the dialogue of both Kathy and the other listener, we’ve no need to PLAY around with this one. The music they’re hearing…STRUCK A CHORD***…And this solve is MUSIC to our ears…

    Jeff’s💎Gems? The fact that he always has Kathy with him…a HIT in my book…and his T-Shirt…which unfortunately I can’t seem to put a FACE to…🤷🏻‍♀️

    So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And this puzzle reminds me of my friend, an OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE…He started a cover band…his fourth attempt..and dubbed it OC/DC…He first was thinking of joining forces with his two FRENCH friends, and covering ABBA songs…but they weren’t very good together…in fact, we referred to them as ABBA Trois…and his next attempt, with his RUSSIAN friends…covering Bee Gee tunes…which they called the KGBGs, wasn’t PUTIN them in a good light either…Next he and his Chinese friends tried their hand at Iron Maiden music…they went with MAIDEN CHINA for that one…but again, no RICE..I mean dice…So he finally went with the OC/DC…And if you hear him tell it, he’s figuring he’s going to have an easy time picking up women now. I told him he’s probably right…since with a COVER BAND they’re obviously already WILLING TO SETTLE…🎶🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🎭 The SKETCH was about a little TROLL assigned to CAULK tile…and how him being called a COWARD STRUCK A CHORD with the others…🎭

    🙇🏻‍♂️ The TROLL online a COWARD, he had the plumbers pissed,
    His comments rude and so untrue…he constantly would dis…
    The work they’d done to CAULK the seams in all of the new houses,
    They went according to each SKETCH…but he still called them louses
    They knew their work was perfect…and always above board…
    They hope to find out who he is…’cause he’s def STRUCK A CHORD…🙇🏻‍♂️

  3. 🎶 Cover bands, yes they come and they go,
    Songs you recognize…some you don’t know…
    Are they a dime a dozen?
    Like the one with your cousin?…
    There’s a lot, yes…but some really show…🎶

    🌟…That they’re talent is def above par,
    Comes to covering, they’ve raised the bar…
    Making music intact,
    And it becomes a fact…
    That a few of them do rate a star…🌟

    👏🏻👏🏻Giving people that old déjà vu, 
    Whether country music or the blues…
    And the audience cheers,
    Since they’re happy to hear…
    The music that’s playing anew…👏🏻👏🏻

    👍🏻 And we see Jeff and Kathy return,
    To a place where a memory’s burned…
    …A place in their minds,
    Yes, a music rewind…
    And it’s props…’cause this band’s definitely earned…👍🏻

    🎶 …A place in this certain genre,
    REM’s music they def agree…
    Is surely repped right here,
    Yes, music to their ears…
    The way any cover band should be…🎶

  5. Just a wee bit cryptic for me….no blind solve, but solved all but the first anagram to see A and CHORD. So with puzzle solved, backed in CAULK to finish up. Thanks for great Sinatra tune…another great Jimmy Van Heusen song, but didn’t see relevance to cartoon ?? Your friend was hilarious. Thanks for fun post. Terry

    • YW, Terry..and Tk you. My:song…yes, definitely another great one, from that amazing duo…But the relevance?  The “second time” the songs are being played?…What can I say?.. It’s the first song that popped into my head….🤷🏻‍♀️🎶

  6. Good morning. Not as easy as some Mondays but after awhile I was able to complete both parts. I’m tuning this down because this is the fourth attempt to post every time I try to backspace it disappears. Always nice to start the day with a Sinatra song Angela. Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Morning, Paul. Tk you…and the same thing is happening to me. This is my 3rd try…I back space and lose everything I’ve typed. Ever since Word Press made their “upgrade”, things have gone to pot. I’m having a ton of issues…🤦🏻‍♀️ So frustrating…Take care…🎶🙋🏻‍♀️

  7. Good morning. Wow, I was so sluggish this morning. Took a while to get through the anagrams and I did get the cartoon answer but it was a struggle. Thank you for your post Angela. Your writing always brings a smile and helps to get me going. Have a nice day. Thanks, Stan

    • You’re welcome, Stan…and happy to help start your day with a smile…Tk you for your always kind words…🎶🙋🏻‍♀️

  8. This week is starting off like a typical Monday ! All the anagrams were there , except CAULK is a word I don’t say much ! But the jumble was right up my alley ! I was on a band with my brother and another and we did acoustic rock songs with 3 part harmonies ! I miss it ! But I saw CHORD and you STRUCK it for sound , which pleases the audience! So I really liked today’s jumble ! And everyone was right Angela , Frank Sinatra is a spot on musician and he strikes the right chord ! Your post was very complete and informative as always ! So let’s get ready for taco-Tuesday , and it took me a long time to text this cause I was very careful so it didn’t eliminate it all ! Have a great day !!!!

  9. Tried to post a comment but no luck. As far as the Jumble, I struck out on the ‘caulk’ anagram as well as the cartoon solution. I enjoyed your Frank Sinatra selection. At least today’s forecast is 60 degrees as opposed to last week’s below zero temps.Chuck.

    • Tks, Professor. And we have a reprieve from the frigid temps today too…🎶🙋🏻‍♀️

  10. Jeff’s tee shirt looks like the I Believe song album cover. Plus another blind solve-Dave
