Requested by Erlene, and she didn’t have to ask twice–When the Saints Go Marching In, featuring the legendary Louis Armstrong (betcha thought I was gonna say “iconic”!). I can’t help thinking of him every time I hear this classic hymn.

By Request, ‘When the Saints Go Marching In’
What do you think? A grey dreary morning: I start to play this video–When the Saints Go Marching In, led by Louis Armstrong–and the sun comes out.
Requested by “Someone” (sigh).
Memory Lane: ‘Down By The Riverside’
We used to sing this at YMCA camp–practically sang the roof off the mess hall. We didn’t have the immortal Louis Armstrong with his horn, but we did the best we could. I don’t know what brought this spiritual into my mind today, but I’m glad it did. And it’s great when you’re around the campfire.
‘When the Saints Go Marching In’
It doesn’t get more iconic than this! Louis Armstrong, national treasure; that wonderful old TV show by Ed Sullivan; and When the Saints Go Marching In–if you want to ask for anything more, you’re just being greedy.
‘When the Saints Go Marching In’
Our computers are a mess today and anything I get posted is strictly against the odds.
When the Saints Go Marching In, performed by Louis Armstrong and… Danny Kaye?
Well, anyone can sing a hymn. And this is the hymn I feel like I need just now.
By Request, ‘Down by the Riverside’
Is this really a hymn? Well, surely its intent is spiritual. It echoes Isaiah 2:4 (“neither shall they learn war anymore”). And once upon a time, we used to sing it at Y Camp.
Requested by Ina, Down by the Riverside, performed by Louis Armstrong.
By Request, ‘Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat’
Can I call this a hymn? Well, why not?
Requested by Ina, Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat, sung by Louis Armstrong. It comes from Guys and Dolls, and not from any hymnal. But the message of the song is Biblical–so again, why not?
Rejoice in the Lord (‘When the Saints Go Marching In’)
Those last two nooze posts left me spiritually wounded. And then, I don’t know how, I was seized by a desire to hear this: When the Saints Go Marching In, featuring the unforgettable Louis Armstrong.
It reminded me that there are saints out there, and plenty of them, and an all-mighty, all-loving, all-righteous God whose word will not return to Him void.
As Abram came to realize, the Judge of all the earth will do right. And all His saints will rejoice in Him.
By Request, ‘Go Down, Moses’
We used to sing this at Y camp, of all places.
Requested by Thewhiterabbit, Go Down, Moses–and who better to sing it than Louis Armstrong?
Hello, out there! If you’d like to share a hymn, just let us know.
By Request, ‘Go Down, Moses’
Would you believe it? We used to sing this song at Y Camp. Not allowed anymore, of course. They have to protect us from the Bible.
Requested by Phoebe: Go Down, Moses, sung by the immortal Louis Armstrong.
