Mama exhorted her children at every
opportunity to 'jump at the sun.'
We might not land on the sun, but
at least we would get off the ground.”

- Zora Neale Hurston
(07 Jan 1891 - 28 Jan 1960 )

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   Van Halen?!?  Okay.....  

BONUS - Jump - Van Halen, 1984


From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_%28Van_Halen_song%29

"Jump" is a song released on December 21, 1983 by the American rock group Van Halen. It is the only single the group released in their career to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[1] It was released in 1984 as the second track on the album 1984. The song breaks the mold of earlier Van Halen songs, mainly in its rolling synth line (played on an Oberheim OB-Xa), although the song contains the standard Eddie Van Halen guitar solo, which Eddie claims as his favorite solo he never wrote. This refers to the fact that the producer spliced parts of two different takes to create the one heard in the song.

"Jump" may be Van Halen's most popular and instantly recognizable composition, perhaps because its sound embodies the key aspects of both of the two genres of popular music most associated with the 1980s in America: synth-driven pop and "arena"-style metal. It was inspired by famed martial artist Benny Urquidez, of whom David Lee Roth was a student. The song changed the future and style of Van Halen from being a predominantly hard rock band to one of more radio-oriented popular music...

From My Friend, Laura, of NC - 05/01/15:

“Selfless acts of service and consecration refine our spirits, remove the scales from our spiritual eyes, and open the windows of heaven. By becoming the answer to someone’s prayer, we often find the answer to our own.”

- Dieter F. Uchtdorf
(b. 06 Nov 1940)

    Thanks so much, Laura!


       From My #5 Son, Nathaniel Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL - '97) of IL - 04/28/16 - "Music for your site":

Have you ever used "O Savior, Thou Who Wearest a Crown" for your site? It's still my favorite hymn.

I just got a copy of the movie Bernie, which I highly recommend, and I had forgotten that they used a string version of the tune at the end of the movie. I was trying to find the scene, but all I could find was the whole movie which you can see here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUEEcP7cxi8

The part I am referring to is at 1:16:36.

Anyway, I went to check out the soundtrack for the film, and when I did I was just looking up the original tune. I somehow hadn't realized that Paul Simon used it too for "American Tune." The best version I've found for it is a live version he did in 1975 which you can hear here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE3kKUEY5WU

And Peter, Paul, and Mary's, "Because All Men are Brothers." Which can be heard here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVJkLcDVUIs

Anyway, I've basically been looping all three tracks for the past 24 hours, haha.

Love ya

   Thank you so much, Nathaniel! "Ah, Bach!"

   That's quite possibly my favorite hymn as well. Non-Latter-day Saints are more likely to know it as "Oh Sacred Head Now (or Sore, in British lyrics) Wounded". I frequently use that version to accompany Memorial Editions, particularly for Roman Catholics. More often than not I use it as the theme for the Easter Sunday Special Editions, with both versions - as well as the German "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" - available, as I did this year:

http://www.nnhs65.com/03-27-16-NNHS-Happy-Easter.html

   But of course none of those would have included these arrangements. I'd say that was a good day's sound track, Fan! Thanks again!

   And speaking of songs of love sung in two languages which just might bring a tear to your eye...


       From My Daughter, Adrienne Harty (Hillsboro HS, IL / American School, IL) of NC - 04/28/16 - "I Lava You":

Remember when I told you about seeing "I Lava You"?

Here is the Spanish version of the song, but I want to show it to you because it shows the actual video to the song instead of just pictures:

Here is the English sound track along with lyrics:

Owwww!
I get up, and nothin' gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real

Ah, can't ya see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't ya see what I mean?

Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump
Go ahead an' jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump

Ow-oh! Hey, you! Who said that? Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know, you won't know until you begin

So can't ya see me standing here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't ya see what I mean?

Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Jump!

(Guitar Solo)

Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Get it in, jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
