Random Memorial for Monday 12/10/18

Gone but not forgotten:  the 3rd live album from a certain Barbra which came out way back in 1987 (when I was but a sophomore in high school), and which finds its way into the trash can ONLY because the CD version of this particular once-in-a-lifetime recording (well, thrice-in-a-lifetime as of this release) is also firmly ensconced alphabetically in our collection.

Lookit -- it's a song that originally captured the sense of hope at the occasion of the end of the Great War (aka WWI) ... but as someone who's glass is almost always half full, I'm willing to keep it in my back pocket for election night in 2020 (or, heaven forbid, 2024).

I refuse to believe that there won't be a day soon enough again when the clouds above are clear again ... happy times ... happy nights ... happy days ... are/will be ... here ... a- ... -gain.
