Yesterday Morning My Church's Choir sung one of the songs that would be
sung Sunday Night in the Cantata called "The Song Heard 'Round the World".

The Minister of Music mentioned the song was a CHRISTmas Song from Finland.
My mind started rolling over and over thinking that I saw You mention in
this post that Your first SSB Station was in Finland.

I just reread the message and saw that Finland ( OH ) is what You wrote.
The name of the song is:

"Hodie! CHRISTUS natus est"

or in English "Rejoice! CHRIST Is Born!"

It's a GREAT Song!

During the Cantata the Choir sung songs from other Countries but I liked
the Finnish Song the best out of the bunch they sung.
It looked like the Choir really enjoyed singing it too.

I just had to tell You that I thought of You yesterday because I heard that
song.

What was Your Call Sign in 1955 when the SSB Rig came on the Air?
Just wondering............
