Tonight, like last night, I’m recycling old material. DON’T JUDGE ME! I’m coming down with a cold.

No, wait. Nowadays what we say is, “I’m coming down with a cold, I hope.”

Feels like a cold, anyway. First time I’ve gotten sick in quite a while. I think I got through the whole pandemic thing without a day in bed.

Anyway, I know I’ve posted this before – sometime. But this is Sissel Kyrkjebø just as she was becoming a celebrity in Norway. About the time she released her Christmas album, also called “Glade Jul,” (the Norwegian version of “Silent Night”). Pretty much everybody in the country bought a copy. Plus at least one lovestruck American guy living in Florida at the time.

This really is a gem of a performance.
