Will appreciate any clues on how to remove a light bulb that seems to

Turn off light. Put on a leather glove. Hold a bucket under bulb in
case it breaks. Twist bulb. If it breaks, use pliers to get socket
out.

Good advice from DanG and Lena, but I would add a bit of work for you
(sorry). I would turn the light off at the breaker (not the switch).
After you break the bulb -- and yes, you will break the bulb -- I would
use an electrical tester to check for power before I touched anything.
You can get a cheap tester (they don't cost very much) when you're
going to the store to get replacement bulbs.
