LEIF ERIKSON DAY: 2026 OCT 9TH

 

Leif Erikson was the first shipmaster to land in America, more precisely in Newfoundland, Canada. It was around year 1021. He is celebrated on Friday 9th of October. Actually nobody knows the exact day he showed on the North of America... The date was chosen for the organized Nordic immigrants, on board of the ship Restauration, were landing in NYC: it was on Oct. 9th, 1825.

So, it was more than seven centuries later that started the immigration of Northern European origins who settled in the USA. However, in percentage of the total population, they were very few¹.

Back to Leif, now: actually the Vikings did not settled definitely. They founded a settlement ar L'Ance aux Meadows in the Canadian Province of Newfoundland.

In fact, the Viking didn't settle in North America but they founded families. And the families returned to Scandinavia. Below is the photos of the statues of:

Thorsfinn Karlsefni,

 Gudrid & their son Snorri born in America

respectively in Boston,MA and Iceland

==================================

 

 The following song is about Scandinavian emigrants in America:

The Swede from North Dakota

 The lyrics are in Scandihoovian², a dialect used in some scandinsvian emigrant families. There is no dance choreographied on this song.

 Here's amodern song and dance related to Scandinavian immigrants:

⭐️Notes⭐️

¹ Approximately between 3% and 4% of the total population have Scandinavian ascendant. Among them, Marylin Monroe, by recognition — her declared father's name was Mortensen — although post mortem DNA tests did not prove he was the natural father.

North Dakota is the state with the most important Scandinavian families, followed by Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.

² Lyrics:

THE SWEDE FROM NORTH DAKOTA

I bane a Swede from Nort' Dakota
Work on a farmstead 'bout two yare
Tank I go to Minnesota
Go to Mi nneapolis to see great fair.

Walkin' 'round the stetreet in Saint Paul
Ain't seen no feller anywhere
So I yump on streetcar to Minneapolis
Bet your life lots Swede men there.

I buy me a suit, I buy me a bottle
Dress me up way out of sight,
Yunp on the tail of a Yim Hill wagon
Yesus Christ! I feel for fight!

I go down to Seven Corners,
Where Salvation Army play,
One dem vomans come to me
This is what dat voman say:

She say, "Will you work for Yesus?"
I say, "How much Yesus pay?"
She say, "Yesus don't pay nothing"
I say, "I won't work today."

So I go back to North Dakota
Get a yob on farm somewhere,
And I say to all Swede fellers
Dey can go to hell with de big State Fair.

I intended to write a Blue Grass song celebrating my friendship with Bob... so I tried to remember what we're the warmest moments we spent together... Here's my lyrics:

That I drank in one gulp and...
Bob telling me his past life in
Planes, shooting, shootin' N shootin'...
I dreamed that 'twas on a map...

SOUVENIRS OF LIFE ON THE RIVER

 

Swimming in the Bayou

📋🎬: My story board is in prose

Deep in my heart are the hot and wet summer afternoon, swimming in the bayou with other kids of my age... their moms were on their guard for alligators... but mine was at work. Only unc' Ben sometimes could show some minutes still in his cop's suit and he used to call me as I swimmed far away... Back to the river bank... Unc'Ben had just time to hug me, give a kiss and jump in his Crown and rush.

Over & Beneath the Bayou

 Lyrics by Jack HITTHEROAD

 (aka Jean LW LeQUEUX)

OVER THE BAYOU

— 🎼🎵: Cypress Canopy Dreams —

🎼: GEMINI

📃✍️LYRICS: J LW LeQUEUX

Over the Bayou highest tree
Near the sky there's the canopy
Where all my childish dreams fly
Like flocks of birds over up high

On the fresh and muddy water
Green and blue round drops glitter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BENEATH THE BAYOU

— 🎼🎵: Beneath the Sleeping Trunks—

📃✍️LYRICS: J LW LeQUEUX

While dragonflies are hovering
Over leaves and branches floating

Under trunks like aligators sleeping

Are schools of tiny fish wriggling
It's where my big pa's and ma's souls
Met all my sinking dreams and thoughts

DANCE TITLE: OF RED & GOLD

Please read lyrics verses in Notes at the end of this article to fit them with the phrases of the dance.

👞👠📋: Jean (Jack) Louis LEQUEUX

On Copperknob

In this dance, "Of Red and Gold", I'm trying to fit the moves and motion of the dancer with the mood and reminidcence of the singer who is remembering a past love he lost by an autumn day when foliage turns to orange, red and gold, the whirlwind throwing autumn leaves endlessly.
It is a phrased choreography but simple: verses of the song — originally a French Poem of Jack Prevert not translated but re-interpreted by Johnny Mercer — alternate the feelings of the singer and the sadness of fall.
Joseph KOSMA's music is definitely a jazz ballad. By inserting a choir singing, in background and like in faraway in the past, some verses of the French poem like some classical music, Tony BENETT's cover definitely adds a fourth dimension to this works.

"Autumn Leaves" Lyrics by Johnny Mercer

INTRO: 21" Instrumental

VERSE 1  
The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

VERSE 2
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold

VERSE 3
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

VERSE 4
But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

CHOIR

VERSE 5
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

NO SAMBA❣️NO JAVA❣️BUT A BOSSA NOVA💔

Yesterday I left a 📱msg to my Nepalese buddies saying I was on my way for their Sambat Party ~ New Year ~ ... on my way they called me: this year... it was on Sept. 12th because of the🌙& the 🌞were dancing a Java together. S😥, I got in a "bistro" to have a java... And headed back home where my sweet💕 , waiting for me, said: "No Java!... no Samba either... let's dance a Bossa Nova".

WHEN AND WHERE DID COWBOYS STOMP SUCCESSFULLY?

BOB WILLS

In 1941, Bob WILLS recorded "Cowboy Stomp", which was an instrumental on swing music.

COWBOY STOMP

Another "Cowboy Stomp" works was popular more than half a century after, i.e. in the early and mid 90s, but it was not a song but dance steps popularized by Barry Amato, a dance instructor who published the "Nashville Steps Instructional Series Vol. 1", where there was the stepheet 

👣📋: Cowboy Stomp

(Unknown Choreographer) 

that could be danced on various Country Songs.

Actually, although this dance was not at all a milestone in the history of Country Line Dance, 15 years after, the "Cowboy Stomp Fever" crossed the Atlantic Ocean and spread over in Latin countries: Italy, Spain and above all France where dance clubs bearing the name "Cowboy and/or Stomp XYZ (in France, often words in Frenglish)" appeared between the years 2006 and 2010! "In a fascinating twist of cultural blending, European dancers transformed traditional low-impact stomps into high-energy jumps, heavily influenced by local regional folk dances like those found in Catalonia."

Moreover, in many European countries—and notably in France—country dance enthusiasts have highly formalized their own codes and dress systems on the floor. This has resulted in a distinct cultural synthesis: a blend of historic American traditions and an idealized, media-driven vision of the New World frontier.

Week 2026-38: Sept. 14ᵗʰ 1814 Birth of the National Anthem

 FROM THE DEFENSE OF FORT McHENRY SONG

🇺🇸TO THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER🇺🇸

It was on September 14ᵗʰ 1814 that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem "Defence of Fort McHenry". In 1931, part of the poem became the lyrics of "The Star-Spangled Banner", the US National Banner.

SAINT ELVIS DAY

 

🍀SAINT ELVIS🍀

Painting: Courtesy of Catholic Ireland site

GIFization: no-AI/ by an RI, the webmaster

The anglicized name of Saint Ailbe of Emly, County of Tipperary, Republic of Ireland... is: ELVIS. He lived in the 6th Century. The Catholic Church celebrates him every year on September 12th.

Almost all media (dictionaries, AI engines, Wiki, etc. say "no connection" with Elvis Presley!  However, digging in the Irish etymology of the name Ailbe (Ailbhe in Old Irish, Ailfiw in Old Welsh) gives the hidden keys :🗝,🔑:

— 🗝"Ail" means ROCK

— 🔑"bhe" and "fiw"  both mean ALIVE

ELVIS = A LIVING ROCK ❣️

And that's very true: Rock N Roll forever!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, the connexion between them is definitely etimologic... Well well... not only!

 

I found, in a Christian hymm covered by Elvis in a non-commercial record, like a kind of evocation in its title :

911 : A QUARTER OF A CENTENNIAL

25 years ago, during week 37 of year 2001, on the 11th of the month of September, the NYC Twin Towers, symbols of Freedom, Liberty and much more. were physically downed by terrorists.
Week 37 of year 2026, the Paris Eiffel Tower, symbol of Liberty. Laicity, Equality, Fraternity of the Republic of France, was virtually downed by the over-exagerated request of a gang of religious extremists visiting France!
Although this Website and personal Blog is dedicated to my passions (writing lyrics, listening music, line dance and stepheets), I think it's important to wary about all the threats to our freedom!
Let me finish this post with the song "Two Love Have I", i.e. Manhattan and Paris, covered by a crooner I love, Dean Martin... and don't forget its original version by Josephine Baker's "J'ai deux amours".

In memoriam:

 Martin & Jacqueline ZANI, my godparents who met at a St John's Day dance party³ on June 24th, 1945 in Orleans, FR 45000. My godpa was 23, and a tank-destroyer ex-pilot re-assigned to logistic supports further to a bad wound. His was a Dean Martin's lookalike. His family came both from the region of Bergamo in Northern Italy. Godma was 21 years old girl from Orleans, FR.

Note ³

Dance parties are organized every year on St John's Day (June 24th) in all villages and cities of France bearing the name of Saint John the Baptist.

Although the French tradition of St John's Day public dance parties is rooted in Christianity, these parties are not religious celebrations. The only religious celebrations this day is the Saint John the Baptist Mass. However, I add this song in my Gospels & Hymns Playlist.
