| Riding the Ocean Spray Location: S.E. PA in U Sofa | Bingo!  I thought I'd sort of stick with the seasonal holiday theme and wondered if/when anybody would pick up on that sneaky clue.  Good find   I didn't know until just yesterday that the song was written by a guy from Philadelphia: Rector Phillips Brooks (1835-1903) of Philadelphia, wrote the words to O Little Town of Bethlehem in 1868, following a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He was inspired by the view of Bethlehem from the hills of Palestine especially at night time hence the lyrics of O Little Town of Bethlehem. His church organist Lewis Redner (1831-1908) wrote the melody to O Little Town of Bethlehem for the Sunday school children's choir. You're up, Hotmnkyluv. Go hide. |
