Maybe 🙂 I tried to make ECG’s the first post, but apparently it kept his thread title but still arranged the posts chronologically. Now we know the multi thread merge works!

Wait, “Morning has Broken” was by Cat Stevens? I _never_ would have guessed that.

> “Morning Has Broken” is a popular and well-known Christian hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and is set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune known as “Bunessan” (it shares this tune with the 19th century Christmas Carol “Child in the Manger”[1]). It is often sung in children’s services. English pop musician and folk singer Cat Stevens included a version on his 1971 album Teaser and the Firecat.

Wow. I had my first good night’s sleep in a long while last night, so I slept through all of this. I want to express my gratitude to the insomniacs and people in far-flung time zones who stayed on top of this problem.
