Clap along if you believe that happiness is the truth...
--Happy, Pharell Williams
This is not meant to be commentary on the happenings of the past day.
Okay, maybe it is.
Actually, I wasn't going to post anything today. I've posted something every day here for at least a couple of months and figured that skipping a day wouldn't be such a bad thing.
But I came across the video below from Postmodern Jukebox of an alternate version of Happy, the Pharrell Williams mega-hit, performed by Swedish jazz musician/multi-instrumentalist/dancer Gunhild Carling. I have shared a different video of her performing once before and had seen this video before but seeing it this morning made me smile.
Made me happy. And it's a good day to be at least a little happy.
Besides, who doesn't want to see Gunhild play three trumpets at one time, tap-dance and move seamlessly from instrument to instrument during the song? 10 different instruments in all, including the bagpipes. I've been reading a bit about vaudeville lately and this would no doubt have been a big hit back in the day.
See for yourself. Hope it makes you at least a little happy.
