Thanks Sean, that’s very kind of you 
Don, this song is included in a play I saw live once. It’s about the hardships of poor Swedes emigrating to America 150+ years ago. A true masterpiece.

Hey J.O.
I have two long Swedish movies recorded saved on my DVR.
The Emigrants made in 1971
The New Land (Nybyggama) made in 1972
Jan Troll director/screen adapted. Based on a four book series Sista brevel till Sverige written by Vilhelm Moborg in 1959.
Great, great story of why leave Sweden back in mid 19th century. And the trial and tribulations of settling new land in Minnesota. No longer willing to endure the closed society of land-owners and the Church as state authority in their birth country.
Main actors were Max von Sydow and Liv Ullmann. Taken out to 3-4 generations.
This song sang well, fits these movies well.
In my wife’s old family library is some of the same time frame from Germany came here on her mother side.
Everyone here has a past how/why they came here story. Often somewhat ugly.
I am glad that overall the world has advanced. And that we live in the time that we do.
Regards
Steve Unruh

Great song. Sings of your home place. Where your heart was born and will always live.
Sorry English-as-a-second language fellows; no CC available on this one. Copywrites, I expect.
WayneK, this one is for your Lisa.

Wow, Cody! Those last two selections, good music each one, but that transition could cause whiplash!

Religious music not found in any hymnal. Circa 1968. In 1968 Yummy Yummy Yummy I got love on my tummy was a hit song. This one was not.

I wanted to sing this around the campfire at Argos but seems that @Chris or no one else was old enough to remember it.

Thanks Mike. That was a real mood elevator. Try this one. A Mackinaw is a water resistant wool coat in case you non-Michiganders didn’t know.

“Playing charlie daniels random shuffle”
some song
“alexa skip” (repeat 5 times)
“sorry the maximum number of skips per hour is 6”

Unless Alexa has a nice rack and can make a pizza I don’t want her coming around.
