Keris Day!

On this day in 2005 UNESCO award the keris the status of Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Unesco and not Unseco!

Yes, and this award drastically boosted the interest for the keris worldwide (making, books, and trade), but 18 years after, it has significantly reduced...

Thanks Jean, we are all a bit careless sometimes. LOL! I am, of course, well aware it is UNESCO and will correct my error.

I prefer the Byrds to the King James version myself. LOL!

I probably first heard it from the Byrds, but over time it has become one of my most used bottled & ready to pour quotes.

The Byrds rendition of Dylan's Chimes of Freedom may be more appropriate for these days Mates.

Drifting off topic here.

Long time since I noticed that one Rick, I reckon about 60 years.
