Micah 6:8
Ephesians 5:17-19
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is a relatively important date in music. On 15 December 1877 Thomas Edison patented the phonograph. (As I recall, "Mary had a little lamb" was his demonstration recording.) Sadly, 67 years later, the plane carrying Major Glenn Miller - a major recording artist of the day - was lost over the English Channel on the way to Paris during WWII.
There's a fun story relating to his passing (I hope it's been long enough). My mother was a big Glenn Miller fan. In fact, I still have a book of her Glenn Miller 45s that I should pull out and play one of these days. At any rate, Mom (many years before she was a Mom) went on a date to see "The Glenn Miller Story." After the movie, she berated her date through her tears: "Why didn't you tell me he died at the end?!" It would appear that she was not fully informed regarding the life of her favorite musician.
Ah, youth.
In news unrelated to music, on 15 December 1933 the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution came into effect. Ratified on 05 December 1933, the amendment repealed the prohibition on alcohol in the United States which had come into force on 17 January 1920, when the 18th amendment took effect. Folks are still celebrating this event in homes across these United States even today. Please celebrate responsibly.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
