This week I’ve been working on a fourth accordion book, but I was unable to finish. Alas, you must wait until next week to see the finished product. I did, however, have time to complete a miniature artists book this week, and it’s titled Little Boxes. This book is directly inspired by Malvina Reynolds’ classic folk song, also titled “Little Boxes.” It’s a simple sounding song, but it hits you in the face with a pointed message.


If you haven’t had the pleasure of hearing Malvina’s original version, I’m sure many of you know it as the theme song for the TV show Weeds. I, for one, love all versions of this song. Many an hour has been spent on YouTube seeking out covers of this tune. For your listening pleasure, I present the great Malvina:




Guess I’m the only person in the world that hadn’t heard this. I always come away with something new on your blogs. You’re right Megan, right in the face. Great post!
Well I like me some Malvina. I quess I’m the 2nd person in the world that hasn’t heard this. Quess Ellen and I don’t watch weeds! Love it and love you! Keep the world a thinkin!
