The Full Moon in March is the Worm Moon, and it is usually considered the last Full Moon of winter. It is also called Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon, and Sap Moon. It was given the name super worm moon as it coincides with the spring equinox, when the length of day and night are almost the same. Worms are said to emerge from the soil around this time.

Daylight Saving Time

If these clock shifts annoy you, you’re not alone on this. Scientific research is backing up the theory that this whole clock-switching back and forth might actually be a waste of time.

When Taped Cassettes Reigned Suprme




My very first recorded 'Maxell' cassette tape and Philips stereo deck. Abu Dhabi. 1967. On the left of the song-listing hand-written on the cover are rev. counter numbers, so that songs in the compilation, titled 'Vocal Miscellany', could be precisely rewound for replay if required. More than half a century ago. Cassette still plays. C-90, 45 min. play on each side. One of my favourite numbers in the charts of that era was Nancy Ames' version of Cu Cu Ru Cu Cu on this cassette.
