Kings of their castles

Making your way in the world today, it has been said, takes everything you've got. And working for the man will take whatever's left over. But working for yourself isn't any easier, and so I salute these acquaintances for doing it day in and day out, sometimes on the side but mainly full time:

• Prosper Media Group: Kentucky's multimedia production solution
  
• LionArt Creations: arts and/or crafts
  
• Nuts.com: nuts and snacks by the pound, possibly ton
  
• Greg Tito: a stand up guy doing stand up in the place where you live. Now face north.
  
• Dr. Zlotnick: The optometrist that Central Jersey calls their own. No relation. Yet.

May these links boost your Google site rankings and keep the wheels of commerce headed out on your highways.

Ladies of Song from A to Z

I know a man who once tried to record an album solely of songs about specific women. He got far, but a few letters/ladies eluded him. Below I offer his playlist and ask you, the blogosphere, to fill in the blanks or offer alternate tracks.

Ground rule: the name must be in the title, they needn't be love songs, but wherever possible, the singer should be male.
