We didn't hear about open borders in Sunday school




We didn't hear about open borders in Sunday school: Why are so many Catholic organizations promoting illegal immigration? They claim humanitarian motives but what they are doing is not rooted in Catholic teachings. Our family came to the U.S. in 1964 from Cuba.

Happy # 85 Neil Sedaka


We say happy birthday to Neil Sedaka who was born in Brooklyn, New York on this day in 1939.

The great Neil Sedaka started a bit before my time.    He was originally interested in classical music but became one of the most successful pop songwriters of the last 50 years.

Sedaka had big hits in the early 1960's or what we call the time between Elvis and The Beatles.  His 45's included "Oh Carol", "Breaking up is hard to do" and "Happy birthday sweet 16".

Like many artists, Sedaka faded in the 1960's. They just couldn't keep up with The Beatles and the so called British Invasion of the US pop charts.

He came back in the mid-1970's when he wrote and recorded "Laughter in the Rain", and "The Immigrant".  Add
 “Love Will Keep Us Together", a No. 1 hit for Captain and Tennille and the best-selling record of 1975.

Great performer, great songwriter!

It's hard to pick a favorite. Sedaka did have a flair for writing very romantic songs.   

His songs are now available in a digital format and they sound great.
