Once upon a December

I like the cartoon Anastasia. I like this song, melody and lyrics, Once upon a December. I find myself humming it. The lyrics remind me of Christmas somewhat. I guess the “December” part does.

Other tunes I often hum is, the African lullaby in Might Joe Young which sounds a lot like another favorite I only learned about years ago. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings it in the Saturday Morning Session of the 173rd Semiannual General Conference, October 2003. I wish I could bookmark a position in the streaming media link. (The song is towards the end, right after President Faust’s talk.)

I haven’t seen Veggie Tales for a long time, but there is a song in there that I like. Fortunately, no one knows that song. Gary picked up on the old Church hymn mentioned above. I wonder why it was taken out of the hymn book.

I could not find an audio sample of the the African lullaby and it doesn't sound A LOT like the Church hymn, more like a certain set of notes sound the same.

I listened to that crude MIDI file all day. Well, almost.

I just noticed I have the Mighty Joe Young MP3 on my hard drive!
