Today is Independence Day in Namibia, a public holiday. The holiday celebrates Namibia’s independence from South Africa on this day in 1990. Sam Nujoma was sworn in as the first President of Namibia at a ceremony attended by Nelson Mandela of South Africa, who had only been released from prison the month before.

I didn’t find any good birthdays today so here is Carole King with a great song.
The ‘Proms’ began in 1895 with the BBC supporting and broadcasting them from 1927. The ‘Last Night of the Proms’ is a rather boisterous and patriotic event attracting tens of thousands both inside and outside the hall and with plenty of flag waving and patriotic music. Among the music is ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ which is set to the ‘trio’ theme of Edward Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1. So here, in all it’s delightful craziness and fun is the performance from 2012. Sit back and enjoy!!
I was traveling on St. Patrick’s Day and didn’t get a chance to post. So, belatedly, here is some good music for that day. Have a few drinks this evening, imagine you’re in a pub and sing along with these!
Today is J. J. Roberts’ birthday, a public holiday in Liberia. Roberts was born in Norfolk, Va in 1809 and emigrated to Liberia in 1829. When Liberia gained its independence from the US in 1847, Roberts became the first president.

Have you ever read a Facebook comment that made you click on the person’s profile just to see if they look as stupid as they sound?

My desire to be well informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.
If I melt dry ice, can I swim without getting wet?
Not all who wander are lost. Some are just looking for the scissors. I swear I just had them, right here!
