The Daughter of a Jeffery Boy

Allan Rankin sang:

The Jeffery boys are strong and lean
The best damn workers you’ve ever seen
They’ll cut more wood than a horse can haul
Near six chords before nightfall

This morning, at The 5th Wave, the daughter of one of the Jeffery boys made me a (very good) shaken iced espresso.

I only learned that she was the daughter of one of the Jeffery boys because Robert Pendergast suddenly appeared.

Robert had been looking for the lyrics for Allan’s song, and ended up at my website, just minutes earlier.

Of course he would show up at the coffee shop.

The cosmic nature of the Pendergy never ceases to amaze me. I suspect Allan Rankin played a cosmic role as well.

(Robert has gone again home to pick up bread that will shortly be on sale here; I’m waiting around for a loaf.)

I love this! Connections. Robert is definitely a connector as Allan was. I also couldn’t read the song lyrics without singing along.
