“Don’t Ask,” “Don’t Tell” Songs, Vol. 1

Here's the first in what will be a two-part miniseries of posts featuring songs with either the phrase "Don't Ask" or "Don't Tell" in their titles (or, in a few cases, just prominently featured in the lyrics.) Because they're good songs, that's why. Enjoy!  ~  JH
