OUR DAILY OLDIES: RITCHIE VALENS WAS BORN "RICARDO VALENZUELA" FROM A MEXICAN AMERICAN FAMILY. VERY YOUNG, RICARDO WAS A PROMISING ROCK AND ROLL STAR BUT "RICARDO VALENZUELA" DIDN'T SOUND VERY ATTRACTIVE FOR A ROCK AND ROLL PERFORMER SO HIS MANAGER PROPOSED TO CHANGE 'RICARDO' FOR RITCHIE AND CUT 'VALENZUELA' FOR VALENS. VISITING A MEXICAN TOWN, SOUTH OF THE BORDER, RITCHIE SAW A 'MARIACHI' (MEXICAN FOLK MUSICIANS) PLAYING 'LA BAMBA'. LA BAMBA WAS A TRADITIONAL MEXICAN FOLK SONG AND RITCHIE CAME BACK WANTING TO RECORD LA BAMBA. HIS MANAGER TOLD HIM: "ARE YOU CRAZY? A MEXICAN FOLK SONG IN A ROCK AND ROLL RECORD AND YOU DON'T EVEN SPEAK SPANISH?". RITCHIE INSISTED BY SAYING: "IF NAT KING COLE CAN SING IN SPANISH, SO CAN I". BY THAT TIME, NAT KING COLE HAD A LP ALBUM WITH LATIN AMERICA LOVE SONGS SINGING IN SPANISH. LA BAMBA WAS RECORDED AS A SIDE B (THROW AWAY) IN A SINGLE 45" ALONG WITH 'DONNA', DONNA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HIT. THAT RECORD CHANGED THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL AND LA BAMBA BECAME VERY POPULAR. SADLY, RITCHIE DIED VERY YOUNG IN A PLANE CRASH IN 1959. A FEW YEARS LATER, LA BAMBA CAME BACK BY TRINI LOPEZ, IN A LIVE PERFORMANCE RECORDING. ENJOY BOTH RIGHT HERE!

OUR DAILY OLDIES: TODAY'S SONG IS "BE MY BABY" BY THE RONETTES BUT AS USUALLY, AMERICAN SONGS HAD VERSIONS IN OTHER LANGUAGES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. ONE EUROPEAN VERSION OF THIS SONG IS BY LES SURF FROM FRANCE AND EVEN MORE INTERESTING IS THEY ARE SINGING IN SPANISH. IT IS COMMON IN EUROPE THAT PEOPLE ARE FLUENT IN MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE. MELANIA TRUMP,ORIGINALLY FROM SLOVENIA, CAN SPEAKS IN 5 LANGUAGES.

I experienced the Great American Eclipse under some clouds that rolled in, as is typical for astronomical events, during the moment of maximum eclipse. The birds stopped singing except for one squawking bird in a tall tree, the squirrels went home, the color of the ambient light changed from orange to blue as it would in the evening, the shadows on the ground became softer, the wind speed increased and the temperature cooled. It was eerily quiet for a few minutes before the normal activity returned with the unveiled sunlight; several sunspots were visible during this April 8th solar eclipse.

United States Marines Singing "Days of Elijah"

US Marines at Camp Pendleton singing Days of Elijah. Thankfully, not all Jarheads have foul mouths. Many of them are the epitome of Christian Soldiers.

"Days Of Elijah Lyrics"

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord, yeah
And these are the days of Your servant, Moses
Righteousness being restored

These are the days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!

Say, behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet's call
Lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee
Out of Zion's hill, salvation comes

And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant, David
Rebuilding the temple of praise

And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are all white in the world
And we are the laborers that are in Your vineyard
Declaring the Word of the Lord

Say, behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet's call
Lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee
Out of Zion's hill, salvation comes

Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet's call
Lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee
Out of Zion's hill, salvation comes

There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!

There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!

There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!

There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!

There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!

There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!

Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet's call
Lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee
Out of Zion's hill, salvation comes

Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet's call
Lift your voice, it's the year of Jubilee
Out of Zion's hill, salvation comes

https://www.gbnews.com/news/ulez-latest-blade-runner-vigilante-frying-ulez-cameras-video

A pair of Ulez cameras have been targeted with heat guns and electric saws in new attacks by vigilante ‘Blade Runners’ demonstrating against the controversial scheme, new footage on social media shows.

One video, posted on Monday, shows a heat gun attached to a telescopic pole being used to melt the glass on one of the cameras, which scan vehicles to check their compliance with the Ulez scheme.

A voice in the video can be heard singing “frying some Ulez for breakfast… have some of that”, before saying “unlucky Mr Khan, here’s another one… gutted for you”.

Since Ukraine cannot export the usual amount of grain through the Black Sea ports due to the war, now the uncontrolled, genetically modified grain is being exported to Central Europe (including Poland) at a price below cost.
Polish farmers are now singing the Polish national anthem as they dump Ukrainian grain onto the street
