Keeping with the Ohio connection, the home and final resting place of "Lemonade Lucy" is just a few miles west of me. A museum on the grounds of her estate featured an exhibition of drawings showing the evolution in drawings of Santa Claus from the 1840's to our modern day conception of the big man (not Mr.Market). Can you identify Lemonade Lucy without looking it up?

billy,

Affectionately known as the "Buckeye Bullet," here is another Cleveland area connection, one of millions of people moving north in the first half of the 1900's. His bioptic will be coming to a local theatre on February 19, 2016.

Thank you for the beautiful song.

Here is a story I just ran into.

The way this plays on my machine the first half is her singing the song with sound. Then the song repeats and I can hear no sound. Qu'est que c'est? But it's nice.

Ave Maria

Heut sind so viele ganz allein.
Es gibt auf der Welt so viele Tränen
und Nächte voller Einsamkeit.
Und jeder wünscht sich einen Traum voller Zärtlichkeit.
Und manchmal reichen ein paar Worte
um nicht mehr so allein zu sein.
Aus fremden Menschen werden Freunde
und große Sorgen werden klein.

Ave Maria.

Ave Maria, weit ist die Reise durch die Nacht.
Es gibt so viel Wege zu den Sternen
und jeder sucht eine Hand die ihn hält.
Vielleicht ist jemand so traurig wie Du
komm und geh auf ihn zu.
Verschließ heut Nacht nicht Deine Türe
und öffne heut Dein Herz ganz weit.
Und lass den andern Wärme spüren
in dieser kalten Jahreszeit.

Ave Maria
