The Song of Redemption
Misc | April 15 2024 | Ezekiel

Posted on 04/15/2024 8:45:48 AM PDT by Ezekiel

PaRaDeS...

The evening of April 10, 2014, in Las vegas: the death of The Juice (know your memes) at age 76.

Simpson's attorney confirmed to TMZ he died Wednesday night in Las Vegas

Orenthal James Simpson (July 9, 1947 -- April 10, 2024) was an American football player and actor. He played in the National Football League (NFL) for 11 seasons, primarily with the Buffalo Bills, and is regarded as one of the greatest running backs of all time. His professional success was overshadowed by his trial and controversial acquittal for the murders of his former wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.

Jewish History
Jews Prepare to Enter Canaan (1273 BCE)
The Jewish nation mourned for thirty days following the passing of Moses. (During this time, Joshua, the new leader of the Jewish nation, sent scouts to spy on the land of Canaan, see Jewish History for the 5th of Nissan).

On the 7th of Nissan, the first day after the mourning period came to an end, Joshua instructed the Jews to stock up on provisions and prepare themselves to cross the Jordan river and begin the conquest of the Promised Land. This was the first time Joshua addressed the nation, and they unconditionally accepted him as their new leader.

The actual crossing occurred on the 10th of Nissan.

Joseph and Joshua lived to the age of 110.

The Music Man, with

The Buffalo Bills as The School Board:

Released June 19, 1962

Numbers 9:1-14

Seventy six trombones led the big parade
With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuosos,
The cream of ev'ry famous band.

Seventy six trombones caught the morning sun,
With a hundred and ten cornets right behind.
There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds,
There were horns of ev'ry shape and kind.

There were copper bottom tympani in horse platoons,
Thundering, thundering, all along the way.
Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons,
Each bassoon having his big fat say.
There were fifty mounted cannon in the battery,
Thundering, thundering, louder than before.
Clarinets of eve'ry size and trumpeters who'd improvise
A full octave higher than the score.

Megillat Esther [מגילת אסתר] = 1144

"The Megillah" [המגילה] for short = 93

Now it came to pass in the days of Ahas-Я-rus, (this is Ahas-Я-rus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)

***

128th running:

11:44 a.m. Sisay Lemma, of Ethiopia, wins the men's professional division of the Boston Marathon with a time of 2 hours, 6 minutes and 17 seconds. Mohamed Esa comes in second; Evans Chebet in third.

10:40 a.m. Britain's Eden Rainbow-Cooper, 22, crosses finish line, winning women's wheelchair race — her first major marathon win. Her unofficial finish time was 1 hour, 35 minutes and 11 seconds.

Rainbow-Cooper becomes the first woman from Britain to win the women's wheelchair division.

She raced in Boston for the first time last year and tells WCVB, "it was a really, really tough race."

"I just wanted to come here and finish the race and have fun. I can't believe it."

10:18 a.m. Switzerland's Marcel Hug becomes seven-time Boston Marathon men's wheelchair champ, smashing his own record, despite a crash in Newton.

Hug already had a four-minute lead about 18 miles in when reached the landmark firehouse turn in Newton, where the course heads onto Commonwealth Avenue on its way to Heartbreak Hill. He spilled into the fence, flipping sideways, but quickly restored himself.

He finished in 1 hour, 15 minutes and 33 seconds, breaking his previous record by a minute and 33 seconds.

Hug tells WCVB "as always here in Boston, it was a challenging course," but he said the conditions for him today were "perfect." He described his efforts as "just a race across the clock."

"I love doing races, especially here in Boston" he says. The crowds give off "so much energy. ... Thank you, Boston, I love you."

Happy Days

@RatedArggg
3 years ago

Piece of trivia: In an episode of the TV series Happy Days (1974), Howard and Marion Cunningham are coming out of a movie theater; they pause in the lobby and look at the poster for “The Music Man”. Marion comments how much the little boy in the movie (Winthrop) “looks so much like Richie did when he was little”. Both Winthrop and Richie were played by Ron Howard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdd6q0pW4DM

***

Character traits

Richie Cunningham’s personality reflected the quintessential All-American 1950s teenager.[6] With his red hair and freckles, he bore a resemblance to Howdy Doody (as noted in the episode “The Howdy Doody Show”). Occasionally, he got into trouble in schemes designed to attract women. Richie was portrayed as wholesome and caring rather than malicious.

Many of the episodes focused on Richie’s attempts to meet women.[2] Despite his demeanor as a clean-cut teenager, he was often depicted scheming to get a date. Examples in the show’s plotlines included him buying a new car and joining a local gang. Whenever he was feeling lucky—especially when he spotted a prospective girlfriend—he would sing the Fats Domino line, “I found my thrill... on Blueberry Hill.” When he became angry or annoyed, he would call his nemesis “bucko.”

“Fictional” River City:

In 1912, con man Professor Harold Hill arrives in fictional River City, Iowa, to swindle the citizens. A few traveling salesmen in the area have heard about Hill, who is known for a ploy in which he gets townspeople to pay to create boys’ marching bands, with Hill faking his musical expertise and skipping town once he has their money.

The Mason City Micropolitan Statistical Area includes all of Cerro Gordo and Worth counties. It is commonly referred to as the “River City”, as the city grew up centered on the Winnebago River.

The region around what would later be first called Shibboleth was a summer home to the Sioux and Winnebago nations.

Lone Starr and Barf find a final message from Yogurt hidden in a fortune cookie, telling them that Lone Starr’s medallion means he is a prince and can thus marry Vespa. The two return to Druidia just in time to stop her wedding to Valium, and Lone Starr announces his royal lineage and marries Vespa. The film ends with them riding off in Eagle 5 and a message to the audience stating, “May the Schwartz Be With You”.

A very good place to start

When you read you begin with

A, B, C

When you sing, you begin with Do-Re-Mi...

Do-re-mi-fa-so and so on are only the tools we use to build a song.

Once you have these notes in your heads you can sing a million different tunes... by mixing them up. Like this...

I simply observe what goes around, and for that.. 🙄 well,

to continue documenting the connections in this thread for 2-day:

A unicorn of all things.

128th running of. Recall that the address of the finish line is 655 Boylston, which is aligned with 661 [אסתר] -- "Removery", where people need to keep returning for further treatment.

Patriots' Day (Patriot's Day in Maine)[1] is an annual event, formalized as a legal holiday or a special observance day in six U.S. states, commemorating the battles of Lexington, Concord, and Menotomy, some of the first battles of the American Revolutionary War. The holiday occurs on the third Monday of April each year, with celebrations including battle reenactments and the Boston Marathon.

>>>

The holiday was originally celebrated on April 19, the actual anniversary of the battles (fought in 1775). Since 1969, it has been observed on the third Monday in April in Massachusetts[8] and in Maine[9] (which until the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was part of Massachusetts). The Monday holiday creates a three-day long weekend. It is also the first day of a vacation week for public schools in both states and a school holiday for many local colleges and universities, both public and private.

In year '75:

Odd information on this page, because 3x is the detail that the Hancock-Clarke House was built in 1738. Yet here's this sign, and on the same page is the link for

Houses completed in 1737

Any way to explain the glaring discrepancy? If the chronology is reversed:

1737: Lexington Destination of Paul Revere...

"What a Glorious morning for America!"

Lexington is well known as the site of the first shots of the American Revolutionary War, in the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775, where the "Shot heard 'round the world" took place. It is home to Minute Man National Historical Park.

Noun
eschatology (countable and uncountable, plural eschatologies)

(countable) A system of doctrines concerning final matters, such as death.
(uncountable) The study of the end times -- the end of the world, notably in Christian and Islamic theology, the second coming of Christ, the Apocalypse or the Last Judgment.

The celebrity of the "Green Dragon" however, is not now due to any remembered excellence of hospitable entertainment, but for the social and political public and private gatherings of the people, -- with other interesting local incident, -- for three fourths of a century, antecedent to the American Revolution; and above all, for the stirring, patriotic, no less than timely consequential measures determined under its roof by the historic men of '76, who brought to pass that memorable Epoch.

It was indeed the cradle of "Rebellion"; the chosen asylum, where the Revolutionary master spirits,-- who organized successful resistance to British aggression on the liberties of the colonies, -- took grave counsel together.

Mason City is known for its musical heritage, consistently producing successful performers and educators.[citation needed] The city's "favorite son," Meredith Willson, grew up in Mason City and played in the Mason City Symphonic Band as a high school student. Willson's crowning achievement was the famous stage musical The Music Man. Many of the characters in it were based on people Willson knew from his childhood in Mason City.[8] And it also features the Parker's Opera House.

To continue from yesterday, Patriots' Day, but folks shun the invitations. There's always something -- anything -- better to do. 😶

Yet, the Grand Marshal is the one who leads the PaRaDeS.

Of course, there was that big debate about whether or not there was an "a" in there. It was *supposed* to be there, regardless of what came out.

One small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.

And then there's the guy out in front of the band with the baton up high. Same concept.

1962 was a banner [נס] year to get the ball rolling with the "We choose to go to the Moon" speech.

And the Music Man was in handcuffs at the beginning of The End.

Out of Egypt, with a high hand...

76 Trombones (Full Scene) - The Music Man (1962)

Released on the date for reading about the preparation for Passover.

I learn something new every day:

A drum major or field commander is the leader of a marching band, drum and bugle corps, or pipe band, usually positioned at the head of the band or corps. The drum major is often dressed in more ornate clothing than the rest of the band or corps and is responsible for providing commands to the ensemble, leading them while marching, and directing them what to play, when to play, the dynamic or volume of playing, and what time to keep.

The commands may be given verbally, through hand gestures, using a whistle or a baton, or with a mace. Although the drum major is the one conducting for the entire band to see and watch to keep time, the drum major is actually looking at the center snare's feet to keep time.

The center snare is the leader of the drumline, and is the one who keeps the band in time while marching. They usually play, tap and/or rolls to set the tempo of how fast the band marches.

In addition, the drum major serves as the liaison between the band director and the band. Essentially, a drum major is the leader who keeps the tempo with the use of a baton or other forms of time-keeping, such as conducting. The drum major often holds the responsibility to keep the band organized and structured.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_major_(marching_band)

Spirit of '76 (sentiment)

'76 trom-bones caught the morning sun,
With 110 [נס] cornets right behind.
There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds,
There were horns of ev'ry shape and kind.

Pharaoh is not amused: 👿

Everyone who's anyone knows that the Band is on a Mission from God.

To: golux; Mars; All
The Spirit of 76 is the Spirit of the Dove, for "the dove" [היונה] = 76.

As mentioned over in this corner,

"And the spirit of G-d hovered upon the waters." (Gen. 1:2) Midrash Rabba explains that this "spirit of G-d" hovering upon the waters is actually the "soul of Mashiach," a term that refers to the highest possible G-d awareness/truth awareness that human beings are capable of.

It really adds up.

76 = "the dove",
and "the Messiah" [המשיח] = 363 = "trom-bones" [טרומבונים].
363 ft. is even the height of a Saturn V.

(What a nice touch that it's on display in the Davidson Center. Can't miss the signage.)

And a miracle, ensign, banner (nes נס) = 110.

Probably not a good idea to mess with *the* Music Man, because

76 trombones led the big parade
With 110 cornets close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuosos,
The cream of ev'ry famous band.

On top of all of that, the big parade [המצעד הגדול]

= 257, a sum which first appears in the Torah ahead of the light as the first word of verse 3: and [He] said [ויאמר]:

Genesis 1:3
And God said [ויאמר אלהים], "Let there be light!". And there was light!

(Wow!) 😎

And wouldn't you know it, 257 is the Ark [ארון] of the Covenant, as well as

Ready, Set, Go! [!היכון, הכן, צא]

Institutional paralysis leaves its adherents in the dust, just on general principle. Like they've got no legs or somethin'.

Yet even Lt. Dan got the bright idea to form a band, and it was so.

Today's clarion call, because as I mentioned earlier, the movie was released on the day for reading about the appointed time for the Passover sacrifice.

And it's all orchestrated, every detail, sooo...

History:

תזמורות צועדות היו הבידור ההמוני הראשון בארצות הברית.

"Marching bands were the first mass entertainment in the United States."

That's good to know, because it links right back to some key information up-thread, provided for those who might think of going forward:

>>>

On top of all of that, the big parade [המצעד הגדול]

= 257, a sum which first appears in the Torah ahead of the light as the first word of verse 3: and [He] said [ויאמר]

Genesis 1:3 And God said [ויאמר אלהים], Let there be light: and there was light.

And wouldn't you know it, 257 is the Ark [ארון] of the Covenant, as well as

Ready, Set, Go! [!היכון, הכן, צא]

<<<

Sure enough, as it turns out, the mass entertainment [הבידור ההמוני] arrived first as 343*, ahead of that light, with the big parade, Ark and "Ready, Set, Go! residing inside along with Elohim, because those first two (dos) words of Genesis 3 = 343:

Genesis 1:3 And God said [ויאמר אלהים], Let there be light: and there was light.

It's like the proud father had shouted, just ahead of everyone's heading for the exit for the mass entertainment, "Davey! That's my Davey!"

* 73, Pintele Yid [פּינטעלע ייִד]

Then I modestly took my place as the one and only bass,
And I oompahed up and down the square.

"We shall see what will become of his dreams."

That's right. Living in a movie. The more times you watch, the more details you catch.

Genesis 41:49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.

Boy, as many times as I check and preview, I'll still miss a typo. Eh, it's all orchestrated, every detail, so I figured I should check that out. Can't be too careful out there!

because those first two (dos) words of Genesis 3 = 343

which should have been Genesis 1:3 but in any case, the first two (dos) words of Genesis 3 are

וְהַנָּחָשׁ הָיָה

(= 389)

And the serpent *was*.

And there you have it. Obviously he was simply not able to keep up with the changes, much less keep time. A real Johnny one-note, not able to B. Good.

6/8 time, that explains it. A fast waltz so to speak. I learned from Kris Kringle that "a fast-walking man is hard to beat."

What difference, at this time, does it make?

389 - 343 = 46.

46

Right on time, the time stamp on the video I'd set in the post, for the proud father shouting, "Davey! That's my Davey!"

I always find the best stuff by having an eye for detail.
