Sitting at the dining room table, I opened the kid's Bible to read the next passage. With the Christ Candle flames dancing across the page, I read the title: "Fiery Furnace". Instantly I started singing a song in my head; "It's cool, cool, cool, cool, in the furnace, man!"
How did that pop in there? It is from a musical we did in church when I was in Kindergarten! With the wonders of the world wide web I thought there might be a chance I could find the song. Even better, I found the entire musical - several options, actually. Wondering what I might remember after nearly four decades I pressed play.
My daughter was enthralled and picked up on some of the choruses, joining in with her mom who was belting out every line to every song. Forty five minutes later we were both smiling as the music faded.

Your slice made me smile and remember the Up with People group (was this in the 70's) and their song, "Up, up, with people, They're the best kind of people you know. Up, up, with people. You meet 'em whereever you go. If more people were for people, All people every where, There'd be a lot less people to worry about, and a lot more people who care." Maybe our world needs a bit of Up with People optimism and smiles!
ReplyDeleteFor me, it was Me and My Arrow. Thanks a lot! Now I have songs from long ago in my brain.

Music is a powerful thing, catching the corners of our mind.

Oh, I love this! Your tease line in the comments led me to your post and I'm so glad that it did. In reading your post and the comments, my mind instantly went to "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing."
ReplyDeleteTo echo Ramona -- YES! We need more Up With People attitude in our world today.
Thanks for this wonderful trip back in time.

Music has that power! I may not remember what I had for lunch today, but I can sing along to songs that I haven't heard in 40 years!
