… I just love this kid (Roger Bissell‘s grandson). Any kid who can move (in a Jacob Collier mash-up) seamlessly from “The Flintstones” theme to Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry Bout a Thing” to the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” is a Super Super Milesio! Bravo!

Okay, so you figure, it’s January 16th, and if I’m going to echo an Ayn Rand title, I’d put up one questioning: Where were you on the Night of January 16th? But noooo… I have to reference that other book (and essay) Philosophy: Who Needs It to address this issue!…

Song of the Day: Happy New Year [YouTube link], words and music by Bill Katz and Ruth Roberts, was recorded by the McGuire Sisters (for their 1958 album, “Greetings from the McGuire Sisters“). It’s not well known, but it’s full of all the joy and promise of the holiday. A…
