Not a blog but a "q-and-a" (pronounced "quanda"), this page is about the basics of economics. Its premise: there are no stupid q's. And if some a's seem dim, take heart: I can brighten them up in response to objections, corrections, refinements. Comments on posts feature yours, and my responses. Enough of you now frequent and query the quanda that I post most every day. Haven't seen your q yet? Send it again. All a's should be taken with a shaker of sodium chloride, if not a Lot's-wife's-worth. And speaking of salt, the mustache and "hair" in the photo has a lot less of that condiment, and rather more pepper, than can be seen on TV. Think of it as time travel.

The Hits Just Keep On Coming

By "hits," I mean Merle Hazard's Golden Newbie Euro-crisis Euro-tunes, as well as the Internet views that they've been garnering.

Monday's post: The Pain in Spain Falls Plainly from Merle's Brain.

Yesterday's: Erin Go Broke.

And today, the world debut of the Joe Green classic, "Capital is Mobile."

Watch a larger version of the video here.

For all three, as well as tomorrow's German "Ode to Joy," credit where credit is due:

Mandolin: Frances Cunningham, one of a very few to have played the bouzouki at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry. She has recorded with Nashville country and bluegrass artists and toured the world with Six Mile Bridge, a Celtic rock band.
Camera: Tom Noser and Matt Westerman
Editor: Bob Burns
