I don't really like the alternatives, but here is the URL to one. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nthgT0_cjw&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL61F31CFE2757DE31DairyStateDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100373589936758473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553799694247296931.post-58034228389088222202011-10-10T09:23:58.252-05:002011-10-10T09:23:58.252-05:00Thanks for posting Joan.

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, DSD!<br /><br />So it is only as a footnote that I make the following observation. Joan was mistaken that "Finlandia Hymn" aka "Finlandia" is Finland's national anthem. And the words she sang are not a translation of the standard Finnish lyrics of "Finlandia" written by Veikko Antero Koskenniemi but are, instead, words written by Lloyd Stone, an American poet, words first adopted by the Methodists, I believe.Paul Oakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426789386840488470noreply@blogger.com
