Merry Christmas, Randy. Glad yer in Oregon sound and safe. I thought of you just now; whilst listening to the incomparably beautiful a cappella choral music of Vagn Holmboe and precessing through the stations of the net, I discovered that today's episode of Democracy Now is devoted entirely to "A Tribute to Yip Harburg: The Man Who Put the Rainbow in The Wizard of Oz".

May all our days be holy.
