HOT COUNTRY CROSSOVER – Beverly Bremers: “Don’t Say You Don’t Remember”

In the spring of 1971, this had been one of my last picks in my college radio days. Imagine my surprise when six months later I heard it as a hit across the South.

Indeed.

So you can guess what “Our Song” was. :-)

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

No prob, Ma! ;-)

40s? It is still in the 80s here during the day! ;-)

The one thing I have noticed this year is that it has rained here more than past years.....a lot more.

[PROCON]

Hiya Connie, in late.

Have a wonderful weekend!

[Publius]

What a naughty song! You should be spanked with a wet noodle.

TODAY IN HISTORY



"Charles Martel Wields His Battle Axe
At The Battle Of Tours"
Charles Auguste Steuben – 1837

From Wikipedia:

The Battle of Tours (October 732),[27] also called the Battle of Poitiers and in Arabic: معركة بلاط الشهداء‎ (ma'arakat Balâṭ ash-Shuhadâ - Battle of the Palace of Martyrs)[28][29][30] was fought in an area between the cities of Poitiers and Tours, in north-central France, near the village of Moussais-la-Bataille, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Poitiers. The location of the battle was close to the border between the Frankish realm and then-independent Aquitaine. The battle pitted Frankish and Burgundian[31][32] forces under Austrasian Mayor of the Palace Charles Martel, against an army of the Umayyad Caliphate led by 'Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, Governor-General of al-Andalus.

The Franks were victorious. 'Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi was killed, and Charles subsequently extended his authority in the south. Ninth-century chroniclers, who interpreted the outcome of the battle as divine judgment in his favour, gave Charles the nickname Martellus ("The Hammer"), possibly recalling Judas Maccabeus ("The Hammerer") of the Maccabean revolt.[33][34] Details of the battle, including its exact location and the exact number of combatants, cannot be determined from accounts that have survived. Notably, the Frankish troops won the battle without cavalry.[35]

Later Christian chroniclers and pre-20th century historians praised Charles Martel as the champion of Christianity, characterizing the battle as the decisive turning point in the struggle against Islam, a struggle which preserved Christianity as the religion of Europe; according to modern military historian Victor Davis Hanson, "most of the 18th and 19th century historians, like Gibbon, saw Poitiers (Tours), as a landmark battle that marked the high tide of the Muslim advance into Europe."[36] Leopold von Ranke felt that "Poitiers was the turning point of one of the most important epochs in the history of the world."[37]

Please forgive me for posting from Wikipedia. Notwithstanding the claims of leftist revisionists, the Battle of Tours remains the pivotal victory preserving Western Civilization from the ongoing attack of the bloodthirsty barbarians who adhere to Islam.

The battle continues today. . .

Actually, it attributes all the evil in the world (including nazism and communism) to lucifer.

Naughty, perhaps, but not to out of line with my personal theology! :-)

Wow...and the Battle of Lepanto was just a few days ago on Oct. 7th!

Sssshhhh...don’t tell the you-know-whos. They will start doing bad things on these dates.

(The battle of Vienna was on Sept. 11. Just sayin’)

#9 – Stevie Wonder: “If You Really Love Me”

The little blind black boy from Detroit was becoming a man and an artist in his own right. Motown turned out to be a fine incubator for him.

Hello Kathy,...(((HUGS)))

[ConorMacNessa]

The timeline on the Battle of Tours is a little fuzzy - I saw one item that said the Moslem commander was slain on 10 October, so I posted it this evening.

Mrs. MacNessa was born 7 October - the Feast of Our Lady of Victory at Lepanto.
