JANUARY 1, 1960
Written for The Threepenny Opera by Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill in 1928 in Weimar Germany, this was a droning song in strophic format about a hit man. It gets boring after the first verse. Ernie Kovacs used the original in his comedy blackouts by showing a manual coffee grinder playing it.
Walden Cassoto, a.k.a. Bobby Darin, wanted to be next great saloon singer after Sinatra. He only sang rock and roll because that was where the money was in the Fifties. The arrangement of this song gets around the problem of boredom by changing key at every verse by a half tone. Its a pure Sinatra/Las Vegas production, and even Frank said that Bobby had recorded the definitive version. Ol Blue Eyes wasnt given to high praise very often, but this recording earned it.,

Sort of “stilted” up against the Platters, but it’s a beautiful song. :)

The only song from 2014 that I respected was Hozier’s “Take Me to Church,” with that 3/2 signature for the verses and a more conventional 2/2 for the chorus. It was a haunting song. But the video was about a gay couple, one of which is burned to death by his buddies. I hate it when a great song is ruined by a video.

Ernie Kovacs really appealed to me as a child! I could not have been more than 5 or 6, but I remember sitting on the floor in the living room watching The Ernie Kovacs Show with Percy Dovetonsils and the Nairobi Trio.
“Mack The Knife” was usually the background music for the various “bathtub scenes” all of which were hilarious!

One of my students, a 9th Grader, wanted to do that song in his recital. I could not get past the video though.

Now Is the Day
December 31, 2016
I tell you, now is the time of Gods favor, now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2
Our preschool-age granddaughter Maggie and her kindergarten-age sister Katie hauled several blankets to the backyard, where they proceeded to build a blanket tent in which to play. They had been outside a while when their mom heard Maggie call for her.
Mom, come here quick! Maggie yelled. I want to ask Jesus into my heart, and I need your help! Apparently at that moment her need for Jesus became clear to her, and she was ready to put her faith in Him.
Maggies urgent call for help in trusting Jesus brings to mind Pauls words in 2 Corinthians 6 about salvation. He was discussing the reality that Jesus Christs comingincluding His death and resurrectioninstituted an era he called the time of Gods favor. We live in that time, and salvation is available to all right now. He said, I tell you, now is the time of Gods favor, now is the day of salvation (v. 2). For all who have not yet trusted Jesus for forgiveness, the time to do so is now. It is urgent.
Perhaps the Holy Spirit has alerted you to your need to put your trust in Jesus. Like Maggie, dont put it off. Run to Jesus. Now is the day!
Heavenly Father, I now understand my need to have my sins forgiven. I also realize that only Jesusbecause of His sacrifice on the crosscan forgive my sin. I put my faith and trust in Jesus today. Please forgive me and become the Lord of my life.
Theres no better day than today to enter into Gods family.
Second Corinthians 5:20 provides a marvelous description of our role as believers in the world: ambassadors for Christ. An ambassador is a representative sent to a foreign country. When we share the good news that Christ paid the penalty for sin, we are doing the work of Gods ambassadors. The redemptive work of Jesus Christ through His death, burial, and resurrection has provided the means by which human beingswho are spiritually separated from Godcan be brought back into a relationship with their Creator. As ambassadors we share Gods promise of a new citizenship in heaven for all who will repent and believe the gospel.

JANUARY 1, 1961
Teenage girls would lie in bed at night with their transistor radios connected to their ears by a plastic earplug. When Elvis got to the spoken word in the middle of the song, they would say to themselves, Oh yes, Elvis. Im yours! Take me!

I liked the cigar commercial where he is about to be executed but when they smell his cigar smoke they drop their rifles and hug him! Ernie Kovacs was years ahead of every other comedian. ;-)

Dudess! ;-) How are you and yours?
Oh, and Happy New Year in the event that I do not ‘see’ you tomorrow night!

I love “Solfeggio”.
Especially when the banana falls out of the peel, and the middle guy keeps using the peel as his baton. LOL!

The song was first recorded by the Kingston Trio as part of the Great Folk Revival of the late Fifties and early Sixties.
The Tokens had started as Neil Sedakas backup group, but when Neil went solo, they executed a change of personnel and became a durable group on their own. The band went on to write and produce commercials for decades, and after a while, people forgot that the team of Margo, Margo, Medress & Siegel, known as Bright Tune Productions, had once been a successful band. When Robert John recorded the song in 1971, the Tokens were the producers.

He was indeed.
And he did not have CGI or advanced camera effects. He was a video pioneer.
