EVA CASSIDY:   Album: “Live at Blues Alley.”  (Washington, DC)

 

“I hear babies cry I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.”

 

 

George David Weiss wrote the lyrics to this 1967 song. He also wrote the words to “Lullaby of Birdland”  and “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”

   Ironically, regarding the song, George David Weiss presented a “Best Young Songwriter ” award to Stephen Goldfinger at the Friars’ Club in NYC some years ago.

   Stephen lives in OG now and is currently creating something special for the internet.

   The photo we recently posted of the birthday of Noah Michael Goldfinger reminds us of the photo which I took when Michael Goldfinger was born in New York City, one generation ago. —Paul @Blogfinger.net Re-posted from 2014 on Blogfinger.

   There is truly something spiritual about this photograph.

   Thank you, Lee and Barbara and MaryLou:

   Photography is not usually allowed in the OR, but because I was a resident there, Eileen’s OB said OK.

   I gowned and masked and stood in the back of the room with my view as seen in the photo. I stood there transfixed as the head crowned and then popped out. I was paralyzed, waiting for him to be fully born, unable to take a single photo.

   Then, suddenly, M. got stuck—shoulder dystocia! I was frozen as the doctors began to discuss emergency measures—i.e. fracturing his clavicle (collar bone) to allow rotation of the shoulder and to free him. (I joke today about his looking around the room and wanting to go back).

   But then, the doctor somehow got him out, and as he burst free, I took one photo–the one you see. Then later I got a few more when he was lying in a plastic crib, crying and getting a bit of oxygen via a mask lying on his chest. He was swollen after his arduous journey from one wonderful world to another. —Paul
