July 12, 2014 Saturday Orangeman's Day (N I) ?

Walked almost 5 miles yesterday.  Taking it easy today, so far.


Proverbs chapter 18 -  "The name of the Lord is a strong tower"  He is called many names, whatever you call him.... call him.  Prayer is the best wireless connection!


On this day:
1989 - On top of having a 4 year old and working part time, I also was the superintendent of the Sunday School and the editor of an Offshore Racing newsletter.  At church we were planning an intergenerational evening with dinner, a play, games and social activities.  The newsletter articles were coming in from all sides and some I had to pick up.  It all seemed to happen but now I wonder how I did it.  Do you sometime feel over whelmed with dates and duties?  Wish I could tell you how to handle that, I guess you just keep going and appreciate the down time when you get it.
1933 - A minimum wage of 40 cents an hour was established in the U.S. It is all relative isn't it?


Parenting - Sue and I will be doing the drama class at Lifebuilders day camp this week.  Neither of us have a history or experience in drama.  I am looking forward to it.


Book Club - Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.  Going to read me some poetry.


Bucharest music

History[edit]

Folk music is the oldest form of Romanian musical creation, characterised by great vitality; it is the defining source of the cultured musical creation, both religious and lay. Conservation of Romanian folk music has been aided by a large and enduring audience, and by numerous performers who helped propagate and further develop the folk sound. One of them, Gheorghe Zamfir, is famous throughout the world today, and helped popularize a traditional Romanian folk instrument, the panpipes.
The religious musical creation, born under the influence of Byzantine music adjusted to the intonations of the local folk music, saw a period of glory between the 15th and 17th centuries, when reputed schools of liturgical music developed within Romanian monasteries. Russian and Western influences brought about the introduction of polyphony in religious music in the 18th century, a genre developed by a series of Romanian composers in the 19th and 20th centuries.  I found some very interesting videos - you might want to go to Bucharest music and check it out.


Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
