I had a meeting this morning and one this afternoon. Tonight I have a Sons of Norway meeting &#8212; and the roads are a bit treacherous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I didn&#8217;t have a lot of time to think about what I&#8217;d post tonight. I poked around YouTube and found this unusual recording of Sissel singing a Norwegian version of a big Edith PIaf hit, &#8220;<em>Hymn a l&#8217;amour.<\/em>&#8221; In English it&#8217;s called &#8220;If You Love Me,&#8221; and there&#8217;s a video of Sissel singing it in English too. But that one isn&#8217;t a live performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here we have a very young Sissel, appearing on a program called &#8220;<em>Syng Med Oss<\/em>&#8221; (Sing With Us), which was where she first became familiar to the Norwegian public. I consider this one of those songs that showcase her voice in a particularly exquisite way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have a good weekend. Stay out of the ditches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I have a Theory of Temporal Clumping.
