Welcome to Morning Open Thread. On Thursdays, I will continue the tradition of a theme.

But the theme is very expandable, in whatever clever ways you devise to do that! And there are no demerits for straying from the theme.

thanks! to all the folks who join the thread.

>>>>>> =========== programming note ================ <<<<<<

The new diarist line-up is:

Sunday Ice Blue // Monday officebss // Tuesday Random Neuron // Wednesday youffraita // Thursday Ozarkblue (ends Aug. 27)

Friday DHM // Saturday Random Neuron //

=================

There is an essential requirement for a diarist to claim the MOT diary slots for Thursdays, no later than the beginning of September.

I’ll be 80 years old in September, so do not want to have ‘commitments’ at that age and beyond.

To request Thursday diarist role, contact Ozarkblue. The best way to contact is by KOSmail.

Now back to the theme:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elderberry_Wine_(song)

==================

“Blueberry Hill” is a popular American song published in 1940 and first recorded and released by Sammy Kaye in 1940. It is best remembered for its 1950s rock and roll version by Fats Domino. “Blueberry Hill” was an international hit in 1956 for Fats Domino and has become a rock and roll standard. It reached number two for three weeks on the Billboard Top 40 charts, becoming his biggest pop hit, and spent eight non-consecutive weeks at number one on the R&B Best Sellers chart.

=================================

“Elderberry Wine” is a song written by English musician Elton John, the music evokes nostalgia, and it has been described as a “retro rocker.”

The lyrics are told by a man whose wife has left him. He misses her and recalls his happy days with her, but he mostly misses the fact that she was the one who could make the elderberry wine he used to enjoy with her.

OZ note: We kids (in the 1950’s) would gather elderberries when they ripened (dark blue), Mom made jelly from them. Here’s wiki about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambucus
