My A to Z Challenge Theme this year is the ABC's of me. Each day in the month of April with the exception of Sundays I will be posting about one aspect of my life that begins with the letter of the day.
It's time for some A to Z catch-up. , I am currently 3 posts behind. The next letter is S so let's get right to it shall we?
Randy Stonehill is one of my five favorite singers. Collectively I call these artists the Big 5. I have seen them all multiple times in concert and am more than familiar with each one's entire body of work. I have been listening to Randy since 1982 and like just about everything he puts out. Stonehill still performs and I had the opportunity to see him two times in a 6 month period bettween October of 2023 and March 2024. Here are some sights and sounds from those concerts.

Randy Stonehill - This Old Face
A few years ago I wrote a review of Stonehill's most recent album The Lost Art of Listening. This is what I said about This Old Face:
This Old Face- Whimsical wisdom amid evocative imagery is one of the thing's I've come to expect from Uncle Rand these many years and This Old Face does not disappoint. This song could be titled turning 70 as this is something Stonehill, born in 1952, will be doing sooner than later. Featuredlyrics: It's been weathered by the wind of sadness and of sin but it shines whenever Heaven's love appears
Randy did a children's album called Uncle Stonehill's Hat and Emma , Amy and I were able to se him perform as Uncle Stonehill when Emma was little. The next 3 videos are Randy performing a song form that album at the concert in March 2024

So a little musical interlude from one of my favorite artists to add to my ABC's of me.
My Daughter Lucy formerly known on this blog as both Puppy and Wolfina is now a 19 year old adult in her first year at college at the University of Illinois. She is a double major in Creative Writing and English. She continues to sing in a choir and is rehearsing for her 3rd and 4th plays of the school year. Same old busy dynamo. Lucy is one of those students who seem to excel in everything she does. When she was applying at colleges this made it difficult for her to choose a major on her applications. I think she had a different major chosen for each school got applied at. At heart though she's a theatre/music/writer/artist type of person.
I'm sorry, this post is not supposed to be about Lucy, but about Dan Fogelberg. Earlier this week a new Fogelberg song was released posthumously. Fogelberg died at the age of 56 in 1997. The song, I know a Thief, was released on streaming services like Spotify as part of the celebration surrounding the 50th anniversary reissuing of Souvenirs.
So, what does that have to do with Lucy you ask, Is she a thief? Well she did steal my heart, but that's not quite what the connection is. Fogelberg matriculaed at the University of Illinois and while there studied Theatre and Art as well as writing, performing and beginning to record his future hits.
I visited Lucy quite a bit during her first semester at school. I went so often mainly to watch football games but we hung out as well. (Mostly kidding I hope.). Speaking of football games, If you didn't understand the title of this post, (and let's face it who did?), it is an allusion to the cheer they make at home football games for every first down, touch down , field goal and extra point U of I makes. The announcer says ILL and The crowd responds INI. Still don't get it? Now you know how my family feels.
On my way around campus especially on game days I've passed by a place called the Red Herring Cafe. I've always been interested to know a little of it's history. Well that turns out to be precisely where Dan Fogelberg performed and recorded many of his early works.
My two favorite all time songs frim Fogelberg are Same Auld Lang Syne and Leader of the Band. The latter was also my only attempt at solo karaoke. I found out today through an article in the Champaign Urbana News Gazette written shortly after Fogelberg's death that both songs have U of I roots, The meeting of the old girlfriend on New Years Eve in Same Old Lang Syne was a Champaign girl friend, the grocery store was on the corner of Green and Neil in Champaign, and at the end of the song when he talks about feeling like he was back at school he was referring to being on campus.
Fogelberg did not graduate from the U of I, he ended up dropping out to pursue his music. His Dad reluctantly agreed saying "to take a year of and see how it went". That is where the line "Thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go" in Leader of the Band comes from, which precede the lines I bawled at during my karaoke rendition -
"I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
And papa, I don't think I said I love you near enough"
That about it does it for my midweek music break talking about Peoria Native Dan Fogelberg, his posthumous release, and his time at the University of Illinois at the Red Herring.
Speaking of red herrings, people stopping by from my link at Weekly Writer's Workshop must feel like I attached the wrong link. The truth is, I have had such fun researching and writing this post I absolutely wanted to force it into the workshop and so I have.
This weeks prompt's were
Write a post based on the word positivity.
Write a post in exactly 9 lines (sentences).
Got any big plans for spring (Easter) vacation? Tell us about them!
Tell us about the most disastrous date you’ve ever been on.
List some (1-5) podcasts you listen to.
Daylight Saving Time — love it or hate it?
There are several I could do and I may come back and do a few more but today, I will focus on #4 as their is a Champaign/Urbana U of I connection.
Tell us about the most disastrous date you've ever been on?
It was November 1st 1985. I was in a long distance relationship with a girl who lived near Springfield IL. We at met at a college conference in 1984 when I was in a long term relationship with my high school sweet heart, The girl from the conference and I maintained a correspondence and talked on the phone occasionally. After a mutual break up with my high school girlfriend that lasted 2 years after graduation, we went on a few dates together, This girl was way out of my league but she did not know it. We bonded over our love for CCM Contemporary Christian Music and humor. I was working my first full time job and taking some time off college that year, I was still living at home so the full time job gave me funds for travelling back and forth between Chicago and Springfield.
As I recall, I was kind of playing the field for the first and only time in my life that summer and had gone out on dates with 2 or three other girls since the spring. Those dates were mainly platonic and similar to what we would have done as friends. Somewhere along the line things were getting more serious with the girl from Springfield, at least for me, and I stopped going on other dates.
She and I were both huge Amy Grant fans and we decided to go to Champaign and see Amy play at what was then called Alumni Hall on the U of I Campus. The concert was on a Friday and I think I spent Halloween visiting with friends at Eastern Illinois University.
I think we spent most of Friday together and at some point she told me she just wanted to be friends again. Most of our relationship before and during our dating period was via correspondence. She had decided that I was not the guy for her. I was at the point where I was thinking maybe I was. She seemed to think that we could just enjoy the concert as friends because of course I had 4-8 hours to process it. When I was a young man going to a concert with a girlfriend was all about holding hands during the love songs, and Amy Grant is all about the love songs.
The opening act was Bob Bennett who did a great set. He wasn't then but he now is one of my five favorite musical artists. His brand of adult contemporary kind of Fogelbergesque CCM does not give you too much to worry about on the love song angle. Amy Grant was her Unguarded self. She brought the dancing, the cuteness, and the love songs. We supplied the awkward. What was supposed to be a night to remember was quickly becoming one to forget.
This is a ticket from the concert I went to but not my ticket.
This is what big named Christian Concerts cost back in the 80's.
After the concert, we went our separate ways (although later we did resume our friendship by correspondence). I drove back to EIU and some of the awkward continued, because one of the girls I had gone on a few dates with earlier that year was the ex-girlfriend of the friend I was staying with. He seemed to think that I did it behind his back, which I don't know which way his back was pointed when we went out, but I never told him about it. He had found out that summer, and this was the first time we had spent any time together since. So it was kind of a bad night all around.
For a short time Champaign and Assembly Hall and even Amy Grant were all reminders of that horrible date. Long before Lucy got accepted there the place came to mean much more than failed romance.
I went to two mission conferences at U of I in 1987 and 1990. Both of these conferences were pivotal on the road God was leading me to missions work in my first few years after college. At the 2nd of those mission conferences I went with a group form my college and in that group was a young woman who was quickly becoming my best friend and rather slowly (7 1/2) years becoming my wife. Her name is Amy and I try to take her for Granted. (Sorry had to work it in, I'm contractually obligated to make a certain number of groaner puns). Also at that 2nd conference Amy and I and the other 20,000 delegates were treated to a conference ending year ending concert at Assembly Hall by another one of my top 5 performers of all time Randy Stonehill. (Yes, it would be a better ending to my post if it was Dan Fogelberg singing Same Auld Lang syne at the Assembly hall as he did twice in his career, especially singing it on New Years Eve.) Even the date of the Amy Grant concert, if it ever lived in infamy, has been redeemed as one of our 3 precious children was born on Nov 1st.
Thus ends my story about the influences of Champaign. I'll try to do one more midweek music break before the A to Z challenge begins next month, To at long last get back to The Weekly Writer's Workshop hosted by John Holton at the Sound of One Hand Clapping click here.
I know a lot about contemporary Christian music (CCM) and a pretty good amount about the history of CCM/ Jesus Music. Bob Ayala was a CCM Pioneer. While these first two sentences are correct, I just heard about Ayala today.
I am in a number of FB CCM groups and someone mentioned his 1976 debut album Joy By Surprise. Spotify is my go to for finding music like this but they only had one Bob Ayala album or Bob Ayalbum if you will, and it wasn't Joy By Surprise. I was able to find it on You Tube and have shared it below. My plan is to listen to it now and give you a quick as I'm hearing it review.
The album is about 33 minutes long and has 10 songs. Joy By Surprise begins with Stephanie, With Love which is a nice consoling song about a girl who loved and lost.
The next song Do You Know Him? starts with a description of God "He is a poet in the wind a sculptor of the sky line. "
Nice guitar work and some good front ground la la las which are very typical of this time frame.
Try And Keep The Pace
Opening lyrics: You were always haunted by the girl you hated standing in your mirror. The little I read about Ayala stated a couple Keith Greenesque qualities. These qualities are on full display in this song. This song also reminds me of more positive less satire look at the issues Randy Stonehill explored in cosmetic fixation and Barbie nation.
To The Ancient of Days seems to be the most famous song from this album according to notes on the FB page and the You Tube comments. One commenter stated he could not listen to it with out thinking of Narnia, this is not too difficult for an album whose cover art is the singer encountering Aslan. These songs are quick but they have good production value and I can imagine listening to them again and again,
Peace is the next song and starts with the sounds of the outdoors at night. The lyrics continue that theme with a nice guitar accompaniment. The person who shared this album on You Tube stated "that the music drifts further to the middle of the road than one would like". Speaking for myself, this one likes the middle of the road just fine.
1/2 way through the album as we pause to turn the record over I'll say that so far I like it. The songs are quick but they have good production value and I can imagine listening to them again and again.
I enjoyed Silent Witness, which seems to be a love song from an unbelieving husband to his believing wife. There was a really good lyric in the beginning that I couldn't write down quick enough. I look forward to hearing it again on a subsequent listen.
Joy By Surprise, the title track has a Don Francisco country twang to it which I quite enjoyed. The lyrics also reminded me of C.S. Lewis a) because Lewis's autobiography is called Surprised by Joy and b) since some of the lyrics talk about scales being removed which is so very Eustace Clarence Scrubb.
The Song of Joseph is next and while there are many Joseph's in the Bible, This one is definitely about Mary's husband. I found it the most uneven of the songs I've heard so far. Of course this is just one listen in, and often songs have a way of surprising me after multiple hearings.
Lord is the penultimate song on this collection. Where Joseph's song is an Advent song, Lord, is a Good Friday song. The music is slow and sad and helps you imagine Jesus carrying his cross on the way to Calvary. If it wasn't obvious before that this was a1970's album this song brings that idea home with an sledge hammer masquerading as an exclamation point.
To end an album with a song called New Beginnings is kind of different. It's a good song and is very Michael Cardish with the vocals and the orchestration.
A couple of final vinyl thoughts that I'd like to spin. I recognized the names of a couple musicians on the album. First there is Billy Batstone who wears lots of hats, singer, songwriter, worship leader, bassist, guitarist and of course becomes Captain Marvel when he say Shazam. Then I read about the drummer Al McDougal and I was thinking that name sounds very familiar. Then I realized it was probably Alex MacDougal who used to drum for Daniel Amos. Sure enough he has is credited in Discogs for his work on this album.
I like this album and kind of want to finish this review quickly so I can listen to it again. One of the blogs I read mentioned him in early 2020 as still being alive. Apparently in the Fall of that year he passed away while visiting his sister perhaps due to some vertigo issues he had been experiencing. It was kind of strangely sad discovering he died nearly 5 years prior to my discovery of him. In a sense I wish I discovered his music earlier, but in another way it's kind of nice to discover old music that's new to you.
For The A to Z Challenge this year, I am focusing on everyday holidays. Each day there are multiple unusual things to celebrate. Every day of the challenge I look for an event taking place that day and pair it with the letter of the day. I have also made up 5 holidays to coincide with the vowel days of the challenge. At the end of each post I will share a special song of the day for that day's letter. At the end of the month, these songs will be assembled in an A to Z keepsake playlist on Spotify. Every day is a celebration, let's unwrap today's together.
April 26th is Hug an Australian Day.
Australia is the lone continent that is also one entire country. Australia Day is celebrated each year on January 26th marking the 1788 landing of the first fleet into Sydney Harbor and the subsequent raising of the Union Flag of Great Britain. 3 months to the day later you can celebrate Australians all over again by hugging them.
Originated in 1996 in Melbourne, Hug an Australian day promotes warmth and wellness.
Wallaby,Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage, Buddhist Monastery, Brisbane, Australia www.dhammagiri.org.au
Not everyone can visit Australia. However everyone can promote good will to Australians everywhere by wishing all Auissies you meet well wishes and perhaps even a warm embrace. Here's a cute video of someone hugging a koala bear.

April 20th is National Lima Bean Respect Day.
Lima beans the well deserved Rodney Dangerfield of vegetables
I do not need an entire day to respect lima beans. For me a minute would be too much time. To misquote Snoopy in Your A Good man Charlie Brown: I am a Lima Bean hater, a Lima Bean despiser and a Lima Bean loather. Or to misquote Greg Brady in the Brady Bunch episode," My sister Benedict Arnold": Lima beans are on the top of my bad vegetable list, the bottom of my bad vegetable list and every bad vegetable in-between.
I grew up in the 70's and we were all members of the clear your plate club. If my parents served it we ate it, or we hid it, or we fed it to the dog. I've always been a big fan of food, and there's hardly a food I don't enjoy. Growing up, I was not really big on most vegetables, I could eat corn or carrots but anything else was a stretch for me. But the worse of the worst was the lima bean.
I absolutely hate lima beans. I would not eat it on a bet. As I've got older I've learned to enjoy most vegetables and tolerate the ones I don't enjoy. I am actually a big fan of most beans black, pinto, kidney, garbanzo. Generally I lead the league in legumes. But I can not bring myself to eat a single lima bean. It is probably the only food I won't eat. I have strong preferences against some food like olives, but in a pinch I can eat one. Luckily my wife loves olives, so it never comes to that.
My hate for lima beans is legendary in my family. Just like my kids grew up knowing that I love The White Sox, Randy Stonehill, Libraries, and diving off the high dive, they also discovered I hate lima beans. So each Christmas for several years I could always count on that they would wrap up a can of lima beans for me.
I'm not sure why April 20th is National Lima Bean Respect Day. If it were up to me I'd ban the Holiday all together. If I can't do that I would just make it 19 day earlier. Because a day honoring lima beans has to be some sort of April Fools Joke.

April 12th Yuri Gagarian is the first man in space
63 years ago today the Russians beat the U.S into space again. This time, Yuri Gagarian became the first person in space. This You Tube video shows some footage from the event.
Just in case you don't read Russian, the text below the video translates into English as:
On April 12, 1961, the Vostok spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome for the first time in the world, with pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin on board. For this feat, he was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, and starting from April 12, 1962, the day of Gagarin's flight into space was declared a holiday - Cosmonautics Day.
On September 27, 2010, by decision of the 65th session of the UN General Assembly, April 12 was proclaimed the International Day of Human Space Flight, which will be celebrated annually at the international level.
I decided to copy a couple of the you-tube comments and show them in Russian , and then in Russian printed phonetically in English and then finally translated by google translate into English.
The first comment is from @elenadushyna8975 from 1 year ago
Все молодцы!! И Королев! И Гагарин! И все остальные неизвестные, кто причастны к этому великому событию!!!
Vse molodtsy!! I Korolev! I Gagarin! I vse ostal'nyye neizvestnyye, kto prichastny k etomu velikomu sobytiyu!!!
Well done everyone!! And Korolev! And Gagarin! And all the other unknowns who are involved in this great event!!!
The second comment is from LarussaShudrova from 8 years ago
Спасибо за воспоминания! Спасибо! Помню, какую испытала гордость за страну, когда передавали по радио сообщение о полёте человека в космос. В душе всё пело.
Spasibo za vospominaniya! Spasibo! Pomnyu, kakuyu ispytala gordost' za stranu, kogda peredavali po radio soobshcheniye o polote cheloveka v kosmos. V dushe vso pelo.
Thank you for the memories! Thank you! I remember how proud I felt for the country when they broadcast a message on the radio about man’s flight into space. Everything was singing in my soul.
What strikes me about the coverage and the comments is the great sense of accomplishment. I lived in Russia for 2 years from 1992 to 1994 right after the Soviet Union was dissolved. It became clear to me fairly quickly is that people are very similar regardless of what country they are from and being proud of your country is certainly not something the U.S. has a monopoly on.
The song of the day is Keep Me Running performed by Ashley Cleveland
Randy Stonehill wrote and performed the song on his 1976 album Welcome to Paradise. The below video features a young Stonehill performing the song.
Stonehill turned 72 earlier this year and I made this post to celebrate.

Last year at this time I commemorated Sir Randy Stonehill's 71st birthday by sharing 71 of my favorite songs of his on this blog. As he is adding a candle on his birthday cake this year, I am upping my 71 song salute to a half gross. I was able to see Randy at 2 concerts since he turned 71. One with Phil Keaggy last Fall, and a few weeks ago I crossed the border into Missouri to catch an epic solo concert.
In tribute to that performance I am including every song I can find on the internet that he performed at that concert. All of the songs he perfformed on March 2nd in St. Louis are listed in Bold Letters (Just in case you don't know what Bold Letters look like, they look like this.)Many of his songs can be found on Spotify. Songs I could not find on Spotify, I found on BandCamp. Songs I could not find in either place I pulled from you-tube or Patreon.

Happy Birthday Randy! I encourage anyone who spends time listening to these songs to buy some or all of them on Bandy Camp and give Randy a gift for the wonderful music he's been giving to us for a half-century.
