Oh let the sun shine in.
Meet it with a grin.
Smilers never lose.
And frowners never win.
So let the sun shine in. π

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called “A Beautiful Song From The Guardians of Zion.”I was very moved by the Israeli police, who have dangerous jobs defending the borders and the cities of the Holy Land, yet singing unburdened about our home and heart!
The Jewish people are an incredible tapestry of amazing people from all over the world.
Fascinating to listen to stories from this former miner at the Maryland Iron Festival, near Cunningham Falls State Park.
Learned about the incredibly tough and dangerous working conditions in the mines.
He said everyone he knew who worked in the mines is already dead.
Working hundreds of feet underground, in the pitch black and dust, in cramped spaces of only 30″ high, and with dangerous mining tools and explosives all for $75 per day.Β
This song is about the miners protesting for better wages and safer working conditions.
And if not, no more “fire in the hole!” π

Who knew, it’s actually a song by Louis Armstrong.
It comes after:
“Shave off my hair and call me baldy.”
They don’t make them like they used to. π

No idea what made me think of the song for this:
Who Let The Dogs Out, Who Who.
Even the dogs party hearty! π
