"What am I? Who am I?"
Sergej Aleksandrovič Jesenjin 1895 - 1925
Što Sam Tko Sam
recitirao David Byler
pomoćni urednik: tb
Što sam? Tko sam? Ja sam samo sanjar,
čiji pogled gasne u magli i memli,
živio sam usput, ko da sanjam
kao mnogi drugi ljudi na toj zemlji.
I tebe sad ljubim po navici, dijete,
zato što sam mnoge ljubio, bolećiv,
zato usput, ko što palim cigarete,
govorim i šapćem zaljubljene riječi.
"Uvijek" i "ljubljena" i "upamtit ću",
a u duši vazda ista pustoš zrači;
ako dirneš strast u čovjekovu biću,
istine, bez sumnje, nikad nećeš naći.
Zato moja duša ne zna što je jeza
odbijenih želja, neshvaćene tuge.
Ti si, moja gipka, lakonoga brezo,
stvorena i za me i za mnoge druge.
Ali, ako tražeć neku srodnu dušu.
vezan protiv želje, utonem u sjeti,
nikad neću da te ljubomorom gušim,
nikad neću tebe grditi ni kleti.
Što sam? Tko sam? Ja sam samo sanjar,
čiji pogled gasne u magli i memli,
i volim te usput, ko da sanjam
kao mnoge druge na toj zemlji.

Isn't it time you heard this beautiful poem recited by a Croatian?
Here you have it. I've done it.
From 2009, " Country dalmatino," a song that defined Džo Maračić-Maki for the next several years.
The lyrics and music were written by Teo Trumbić who is married to Sanja Trumbić from Split
who recorded "Most," also written by Teo, on Sarajevo Disk in 1990.
Džo Maračić-Maki recorded this on Croatia Records – CD 5861645 2009 track 3. Branko Glavan was
the arranger.

In the summer of 2008, Wallace Schultz, a former Lutheran Hour Speaker took a journey to the Kazakhstan during which time he passed through
portions of the Russian Federation. Wally brought back for me a proper "shapka" (mountain peak) or "babushka" (which means old lady) made
of rabbit skin dyed black, as it should be. I have treasured the hat all these years and wear it sometimes when it is very cold. Even
more than the hat, I treasure the footage he shot of these Kozak dancers and their music which I am sharing with you.
Psalm 50
King James Version (KJV)
English text followed by Croatian / Engleski tekst slijede hrvatski
1 The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Psalam. Asafov. Bog nad bogovima, Jahve, govori i zove zemlju od izlaza sunčeva do zalaza.
2
Sa Siona predivnog Bog zablista:
3
Bog naš dolazi i ne šuti. Pred njim ide oganj što proždire, oko njega silna bjesni oluja.
4
On zove nebesa odozgo i zemlju da sudi narodu svojemu:
5
"Saberite mi sve pobožnike koji žrtvom Savez sa mnom sklopiše!"
6
Nebesa objavljuju pravednost njegovu: on je Bog sudac!
7
"Slušaj, narode moj, ja ću govoriti, o Izraele, svjedočit ću protiv tebe: ja, Bog - Bog tvoj!
8
Ne korim te zbog žrtava tvojih - paljenice su tvoje svagda preda mnom.
9
Neću od doma tvog' uzet junca, ni jaraca iz tvojih torova:
10
tÓa moje su sve životinje šumske, tisuće zvjeradi u gorama mojim.
11
Znam sve ptice nebeske, moje je sve što se miče u poljima.
12
Kad bih ogladnio, ne bih ti rekao, jer moja je zemlja i sve što je ispunja.
13
Zar da ja jedem meso bikova ili da pijem krv jaraca?
14
Prinesi Bogu žrtvu zahvalnu, ispuni Višnjemu zavjete svoje!
15
I zazovi me u dan tjeskobe: oslobodit ću te, a ti ćeš me slaviti."
16
A grešniku Bog progovara: "Što tumačiš naredbe moje, što mećeš u usta Savez moj?
17
Ti, komu stega ne prija, te riječi moje iza leđa bacaš?
18
Kad tata vidiš, s njime se bratimiš i družiš se s preljubnicima.
19
Svoja si usta predao pakosti, a jezik ti plete prijevare.
20
U društvu na brata govoriš i kaljaš sina matere svoje.
21
Sve si to činio, a ja da šutim? Zar misliš da sam ja tebi sličan? Pokarat ću te i stavit ću ti sve to pred oči."
22
Shvatite ovo svi vi koji Boga zaboraviste, da vas ne pograbim i nitko vas spasiti neće.
23
Pravo me štuje onaj koji prinosi žrtvu zahvalnu: i onomu koji hodi stazama pravim - njemu ću pokazati spasenje svoje.

"Daddy," published in 1951, features the Bobby Troup Trio and Virginia Maxey
Robert Wesley Troup, Jr. (October 18, 1918 – February 7, 1999), aka Bobby Troup, is better known for his
composition "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66," a popular rhythm and blues standard, Troup got his first success with
"Daddy", written for a Mask and Wig production, a regional hit in 1941. Sammy Kaye and His Orchestra recorded "Daddy",
and it was number one for 8 weeks on the Billboard Best Seller chart and the number five record of 1941 Other artists also recorded it
in 1941, including Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, The Andrews Sisters, Bing Crosby and Kay Kyser. You can hear "Daddy" can be heard in
the 1941 film "Two Latins from Manhattan."
Virginia Maxey, aka "Ginny," was born 4 September 1923, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Singer, composer and author, educated in public schools and a singer with the orchestras of Charlie Barnet, Tony Pastor and Ziggy Elman,
and with the Modernaires. She appeared on television, in night clubs and on records.
Her chief musical collaborator was her husband, Matt Dennis who died in June of 2002, and her popular-song compositions include "We've Reached the Point of No Return",
"Snuggle Up, Baby", and "You Can Believe Me".
In 1949, Louis D. Snader, a real estate entrepreneur, started "Snader Telescriptions." Television was still new in those days and the stations
need a lot of filler between the shows. Snader rightly thought there was a market for short music videos.
They shot about a thousand titles featuring many of the top musicians of the time, including Mel Torme, Charlie Barnet, Frankie Carle,
The DeCastro Sisters, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Burl Ives, The King Sisters, Steve Lawrence, Sarah Vaughan, The McGuire Sisters, Tony Pastor,
The Pied Pipers, Gale Storm, June Christy, Peggy Lee, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, The Four Aces featuring Al Alberts, Cab Calloway,
Lionel Hampton, The Weavers with Pete Seeger, The Ink Spots, The Four Freshmen, Lawrence Welk, George Shearing,
Nat King Cole and Teresa Brewer.
These were shot mostly by Duke Goldstone between 1950 and 1952 using 35mm black and white film which had to be converted to 16mm for
the TV stations. Done on the cheap in California studios, in one take with no editing, an eight hour run might yield ten or more films.
When the price of British movies and "B" films rose, Roger Clip at WFIL-TV 6 in Philidelphia bought the rights to Snader Telescriptions.They
created a show hosted by Tom Moorehead, the stations sports director who was succeeded by Bob Horn. The show morphed into "Parade of
Stars," and thence to "Bandstand," but the Snader films were not used after Parade of Stars.

If you you heard Betty Boop's voice in Kitty, in the Farmerette, you were right. It was Betty Boop, or, rather, it was Betty
Boop's voice. Margret "Margie" Hines provided the first voice for Betty Boop. Mae Questel took over the role in 1931 but
when she could not move with Fleischer Studios from New York to Miami because she was just beginning to raise a family,
Hines replaced Questel in both the Betty Boop until 1939 and in the Popeye series as Olive Oyl until 1943 when Paramount
bought the studio and returned to New York where Questel returned to the voice role of Betty Boop.
Miss Kitty was produced at Van Buren Studios and was directed by Harry Bailey and John Foster.

Psalm 49
King James Version (KJV)
English text followed by Croatian / Engleski tekst slijede hrvatski
1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

Zborovođi. Sinova Korahovih. Psalam.
2
Poslušajte ovo, svi narodi, čujte, svi stanovnici zemlje,
3
vi, djeco puka, i vi, odličnici, bogati i siromašni zajedno!
4
Moja će usta zboriti mudrost, i moje srce misli razumne.
5
K poučnoj izreci priklonit ću uho, uz harfu ću izložit' svoju zagonetku.
6
Što da se bojim u danima nesreće kad me opkoli zloba izdajica
7
koji se u blago svoje uzdaju i silnim se hvale bogatstvom?
8
TÓa nitko sebe ne može otkupit' ni za se dati Bogu otkupninu:
9
životu je cijena previsoka, i nikada je neće platiti
10
tko želi živjeti dovijeka i ne vidjeti jamu grobnu.
11
Jer, i mudri umiru, pogiba i luđak i bezumnik: bogatstvo svoje ostavlja drugima.
12
Grobovi im kuće zasvagda, stanovi njihovi od koljena do koljena, sve ako se zemlje nazivale imenima njihovim.
13
Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.
14
Takav je put onih koji se ludo uzdaju, to je konac onih koji uživaju u sreći:
15
Poput stada redaju se u Podzemlju, smrt im je pastir, a dobri njima vladaju. Njihova će lika brzo nestati, Podzemlje će im biti postojbina.
16
A moju će dušu Bog ugrabiti Podzemlju iz pandža i milostivo me primiti.
17
Ne boj se ako se tko obogati i ako se poveća blago doma njegova:
18
kad umre, ništa neće ponijeti sa sobom, i blago njegovo neće s njime sići.
19
Ako se u životu držao sretnim - "Govorit će se da ti je dobro bilo!" -
20
i on će doći u skup otaca svojih, gdje svjetlosti više vidjeti neće.
21
Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.
