He's Got The Whole World In His Hands

Mighty as He is, surely He will do something about the poor state of the world. 

And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:28-31

But, in the other hand, are we sure about the translation? . Was He really speaking to Man ?

Anyway, thanks to St. Peter's Church for the picture.

Song is from the album "An Evening With Wanda". And thanks to http://themotellounge.blogspot.com/2019/07/an-evening-with-wanda.html for the following information:

From the back cover: Across from the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway on West 16th Street where the 500 Mile Race is held each May is the unofficial home of one of Indiana's best-known supper club songstresses... Wanda Louise Schafer. Wanda, who belts out songs like the late Sophie Tucker while accompanying herself on the piano, has worked with some of the great names in music... Jack Teagarden and Dizzy Gillespie... "Even Dan Rowan and Dick Martin when they were making $500 a week apiece. "One of her memorable engagements was in the Mermaid Room of the Park Sheridan, in New York.

Beginning in Anderson, Indiana, Wanda started singing on radio station WHUB when she was ten. Her stage career began at fourteen in Anderson with her uncle Wanda describes as a "stand-up vaudeville comic."

The entertainment career began so early was postponed while she raised six children. The urge to sing again was song, and she resumed singing at the Shamrock in Anderson where she played for nine years before coming to Indianapolis in 1957. There were seven great years at LaRue's Supper Club before she moved to Al Myers. Later she went to Fort Wayne, Indiana to be the songbird in the Gilded Cage.

Wanda "retired" in 1965 to marry Otto Schafer, a well-known Indianapolis Motor Speedway figure. It was through him she began her "love affair" with the Speedway and its personages. This close association with the Speedway was on of the reasons Wanda decided to "stay close to the track" when she returned to the Indiana entertainment scene.

Little Miss Heartbreaker

 

Veskants

Vocal : Ronnie Byrd

Little Miss Heartbreaker

W.M.C. Records #101
1421 Southgate Center,  Waco, Texas
1966

Some info from garangehangover  :

Jack Benner, drummer with the Veskants and the Silvertones wrote to me about his career:
I worked part-time at Waco Music Center in Southgate for a short time. Later we formed a band called Veskants with Larry Nichols (keyboard/sax), Ted Richardson (guitar), Richard Travis (bass), me [Jack Benner] on drums and Ronnie Byrd as vocalist. We recorded “Little Miss Heartbreaker” and “More Than Love” at Goodson McKee’s recording studio. Songs were written in part by Byrd. “More Than Love” was supposed to be the “A” side of the record but for some reason “Heartbreaker” got the most request/play, go figure. Pressed a few hundred records on W.M.C. label. Sold a few – gave away most. I still have a couple. Larry Nichols made up the name Veskants … who knows what goes through that mind of his!

Goodson Mckee Recording Service was one the three major recording studios in Waco in the 60's which gave the bands plenty of options to record and release their music.

Modrel Goodson McKee passed away in 2013.

Shake Hands, Buddy, So Long

Carol Stivers
Featuring the trumpet of
Jim Steinkircher

Shake Hands, Buddy, So Long

WI-4011 From the Wilbee Album "the Many Voices of Carol Stivers"
Wilbee Music Co., 160 Wood St., Wilkes-Barre, Pa 18702

Personnel on the record is:

Trumpet - Jim Steinkirchner
Piano - Richard Rome
Guitar - Robert Walter
Bass Guitar - F. Kirk Hamilton
Trombone - C. Dudley Lowden
Drums - Ronnie Di Stefano

Written by Marie S[tivers] Rice, born around 1918, who seems to have been the main force behind the Wilbee label. Label "topper" was her younger brother Bill Stivers. Carol Stivers was her niece.  A family affair.

Marie S. Rice, writer, speaker and musician, is the author of "Michelle Danielle Is Dead" (1985), a biography of ex-trans Michelle Danielle and her transitions from man to woman to man. After this book, Michelle would transition back to woman.  Ex-ex trans, then. The term is perfectly defined here

The anti-transgender movement claims that many trans people, especially Christians, regret transitioning and go back to living in their birth gender. These people are often paraded as proof that transgenderism is unfulfilling.  However, many of these ex-trans people later become ex-ex-trans and transition back into a transgender identity. Years later, gender defenders still hold these people up as if God had changed their gender identity.

Oh my head...

Send me to the electric chair

This is NOT an electric chair



Dinah Washington ...Send me to the electric chair

Happy birthday, Gertie. 130 years old and still going strong !

On August 6, 1890 the State of New York executed William Kemmler in the nation’s first use of the electric chair, (also known as Old Sparky Yellow Mama, Gruesome Gertie, Sizzling Sally or Hot Seat...

Kemmler had been sentenced to death for killing his common law wife with a hatchet.  After officials strapped him into the chair, the electricity was applied for several seconds.  During that time, Kemmler strained against the leather straps.

When attending doctors thought Kemmler was dead, the warden had the electricity turned off. But Kemmler’s body continued to twitch, causing observers to faint.

After doctors confirmed Kemmler was still breathing, the executioner sent 2,000 volts through Kemmler’s body.  Kemmler’s mouth foamed and blood vessels ruptured.  Witnesses smelled burning flesh as Kemmler’s body caught fire.

After the electricity ceased, Kemmler’s body went limp.  Doctors confirmed that this time Kemmler was dead. Following the execution, about twenty newspapers in New York called for a repeal of the law that allowed execution by electrocution.

With the exception of the (rarely performed) firing squad execution, the electrocution will stay the most effective way to perform the death penalty, the one with the best success rate anyway. See "botched executions" stats below.

*Botched executions are “those involving unanticipated problems or delays that caused, at least arguably, unnecessary agony for the prisoner or that reflect gross incompetence of the executioner.”
