When I woke up in the wee hours of the morning of November 6, 2024, I rushed to my computer to check the election results. When I found out that Trump had won, I immediately posted this song on my Facebook page:

Cheer Up! Good Times Are Coming! by Phil Spitalny & His Music

Had Kamala won, I would have posted this:

Ill Wind by Eddy Duchin
