Must retire – a full workday tomorrow - the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Publius]

There was a tradition of taking Italian songs and giving them English lyrics, even if those lyrics had nothing whatever to do with the original Italian words. Vic Damone’s “You’re Breakin’ My Heart” and Dusty Springfield’s “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” fall into this category. Even Elvis had done this with “It’s Now or Never”. In 1961, Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman took the old Italian ballad “Come Back to Sorrento” and managed to match “Sorrento” with “surrender”.

Elvis Presley: “Surrender”
