Welcome to Wednesday!

Today is Independence Day in Colombia. It marks the start of the movement to independence from Spain in 1810 with an uprising in Bogota. That afternoon the People’s Junta was formed.

Yup

Today is the birthday, in 1955, of Jem Finer, banjoist for The Pogues, Irish-British, Celtic Punk band. Here they are together with the Dubliners singing one of their favorites.
