Good morning from here in our Florida radio station.
Izz with a y. Great to see that you are alright. Don't know Hawkwind doing Hassan Sahba. Is that Persian? Once again thanks for the introduction. Odd dream, however.
Today is this man's birthday, but first some information:
Alexandre Tansman (12 June 1897 – 15 November 1986) was a Polish-born French composer and virtuoso pianist. He spent his early years in his native Poland, but lived in France for most of his life. His music is primarily neoclassical, drawing on his Polish-Jewish heritage as well as his French musical influences.
Charlie Chaplan helped him get his visa to leave Germany during Hitler's regime.
Now, the music:

Our poem for the morning:
William Cowper; just the last verses, however.
Awakening, how could I but muse
On what such a dream might betide?
But soon my ear caught the glad news
Which serv'd my weak thoughts for a guide,
That BRITANNIA, renown'd o'er the waves,
For the hatred she ever has shown
To the black-scepter'd rulers of slaves,
Resolves to have none of her own.
