Great is Thy Faithfullness (1923)

I thought a lot about "Old Chestnut" church music on the 294th day of 2018.  We started Sunday, 10/21/18, at Church.  A fellow bass in the choir gave me a copy of The Palms (maybe one of my favorite old chestnuts that few people seem to like as much as I do).  And then, in the service, we sang one of the true classic hyms, Great is Your Faithfulness.  I love this hymn for the harmonies and I love singing it in church (I think I may have sang a bit too loud this morning, but..... sorry, not sorry!).  So, in honor of the year Thomas O. Chisholm wrote the song, we will have 1923 as our number of the day.  And an old recording of this old chestnut will accompany it.

Et Tu, Brute (since 1599)

The Ides of March.  3/15/18, the 74th day of 2018.  I wanted to have a Caesar Salad all day but, alas, it was not meant to be.  Instead, I figured I would honor Shakespeare and his Julius Caesar play, written in 1599.  So 1599 will be our number, and this strange song about JC will be our song.  Off to bed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI24OtN678o

Sugar Cookie Day and 0 unread emails!

Pretty nondescript day on day #190 of 2018.  7/9/18 is also National Sugar Cookie Day.  The only thing notable for me is that I have ZERO unread emails as I head to bed.  So, elated about that small detail, I will present 0 as the number of the day and play this song (about sugar) from the Archies.  Goodnight! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9nE2spOw_o

102nd Birthday

The 43rd day pf 2018 marked the anniversary of the birth of a very important person.  And Abraham Lincoln too!  But 2/12/18 would have been the 102nd birthday of Nettie Soskin, my Bubbe.  She was one of the most amazing women I have ever met and she is one of my role models.  And she could cook too!!  <3  So, to honor her, we have the number of the day as 102 and this Stevie Wonder classic as our song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inS9gAgSENE
