Here in the US, April 15th is upon us., and as Benjamin Franklin opined on the viability of the fledgeling US Constitution, “…in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” So, this hour, Katie Marie and Joe put together an hour of trad music about death, taxes, and being too poor to pay the excise man.
