Easter in Chicago

Sam traveled to West Chicago for Easter!!! Grandpa Jim sang constantly to Sam, "A sunbeam, a sunbeam, Jesus wants Sam for a sunbeam..." One of the disgusting traits which Sam and his grandfather share is that they are "sunbeams" at, oh, 5 a.m. On the other hand, I am a beautiful "moonbeam," and its scandalous that there are no songs for me.

Papi also sang, "I love to laugh... HAHAHAHA... looooong, and LOUD and clear." (
Mary Poppins) But the best was, "Don't let Satan whoosh it out." Sam loved the whooshing which meant he got blown in the face.

Sam's great-grandfather and great-grandmother sang on the radio every day for many years in Ecuador. Great-Grandpa Savage composed many songs in Spanish and transcribed still more from English to Spanish, which are still sung today.
