I LOVE THIS SONG! but I always thought that it was from "The Unsinkable Molly Brown"! Didn't learn 'till I found your post. THANK YOU!

Yeah, just a little folk song. A folk song rendered by a wonderfully talented, and wonderfully sensitive artist who remained true to the spirit of an 11 year old girl who wrote of escape and peace in death. I don't know your name, young lady, but a lot of us now know your soul.

Thank you. Y...

@cellleader1 re: Arthur Shields: Truly!?! Why am I not surprised?

So many things to be learned. How "history" obscures, and then, given time, enlightens.

Patience! Watch! Choose! Yes, Choose, "judge" if you will. In the fullness of time, in it's own judgement of time and the moment,...

@REVBia Ooh, yes.

I forgot.

"Betting will now STOP, and the sale of all alcoholic and intoxicating drinks will CEASE!"

"I MEAN THAT, NOW!!"

Back at ya, Jim!!! And, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

@iluvrimmel What a great story! Thanks for sharing.

I've heard a story about her which may be apocriphal, but...

Errol Flynn was about to be introduced to the ravishing Miss O'Hara, and a Hollywood rogue "informed" him that she adored having her breasts fondled surreptitiously.

He tried.

@crixxxxxxxxx Hard words to listen to. Hard words to swallow. The TRUTH usually is. Chew hard boys 'n' girls, and swallow. Then RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG, ' cause the battle still rages.

@RichHaefeli Carole King, the undiscovered, underappreciated, and unquestioned QUEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL. FO EVAH!

Yes. They are all wonderful, but, I must admit that I fell a little bit in love with Alex when I watched (and heard) her wonderful performance of "Amazing Grace". Her voice was, well, Alex; but it was her face that captured me. She UNDERSTOOD the song, the words, their meaning and the debt owe...

@quarkantiquark5 AT LAST, AND ALAS, ONLY 51 WHO TRULY UNDERSTAND. HOW SAD, IN AN ENTIRE YEAR. Hmm, and the rest prate about the Tree of Liberty, about which they know NAUGHT.

They also know naught of the FOURTH VERSE of the HYMN:

OOooooo! Take that, Lady Gaa Gag!

@DrAggie58 A "little" bit? Hey! Go find a better "next door neighbor" anywhere on this planet! They don't always agree with "us', but "WE" don't agree with each other! Whether we choose to "agree" or not; Canada ROCKS!

I wouldn't want ANYONE else on our border!

Unapologetically,

FROM THE USA!

@12FlyMe Have you ever noticed that there are 2 (two) King James versions of the Bible? Oh Yeah, one for the South, and another for the rest of the world! Seems that Southerners banded together in the 1700's to rewrite "God's view" on slavery. Generations o' good-ol boys was raised on LIES! Ju...

@TurtleShroom Umm, do you refer to the burning of Atlanta. The South likes to forget that it was their attempt to burn down their own warehouses that lit-off the great fire that leveled Atlanta. Just like they forget that it was their actions that sparked the war in "Bleeding Kansas", and fanne...

@mortaldogluis Whassa matta? You jealous?

@angiechelcyjade Lost them, or sent them to us?

This has been called the "Quintessential American Hymn", written by a master of slave ships, as his repentance.

John Newton set aside his past, as a slaver, and sought to become a minister, but no Seminary would have him, because of his past. He ga...

@SylvainBrunerie Hooray for the flag of the free

The flag of the brave and the free

The standard of LIBERTY.

MAY DESPOTS REMEMBER THE DAY

PROCLAIMED AS THEY MARCHED TO THE FRAY

THAT BY OUR RIGHT

Please do not make idle comments about the men who built the "Death Railway". Make fun of the Hollywood movie, if you will, but NEVER of the men who were there. You are children of ease and prosperity. You have no concept of what these men endured, nor of what they accomplished. If you have a ...

@TheDukeofFulham It was COOPERATION that won the day. Thank Dear God that you were not there!

Oh, by the way, didn't a BRIT (Cornelius Ryan) write the book? Didn't he serve as the primary advisor to the film?

No other troops faced as large a force. No other troops faced enemy troops dug into...

@jdfrancis13 Well, 108 people turned "thumbs down" on it. So learn from it. The truly STUPID live, .... and they are AMONG US! What a bummer!

Fogarty Fo' Evah!

Holy Cow! This was awesome!

Who was the tone-deaf imbecile who gave it a thumbs down?

HEY, POSTER, you done GOOOD. Postin' and Pickin'!

Thank you.
