You Were On Such a Roll! - 01 March 2022 - Plague Journal Day 719

Micah 6:8
1 Chronicles 25
Yes, your life matters.

Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Yes, today is Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Pączki Day, a day to celebrate and get ready to get ready. After all, that's what Lent is all about, right? getting ready for Easter? So today is a day to get things out of your system, to get ready to get ready. As the intro to the first song on a live album by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen went, "we're gonna commence to begin to start to get ready to rock and roll a little here." Indeed. The sentiment, if not the exact words, applies.

Ah, the first of March. Quite a musical day it would appear. On this Fat Tuesday, why not enjoy some Fatboy Slim? Even more, on this date there were quite a few spectacular musicians born:

1810 - Frédéric Chopin,
 

1904 - Glenn Miller, 


1944 - Roger Daltrey,


1994 - Justin Bieber

Well, as the title said, you were on such a roll. I suppose that streak had to end sometime.


Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
