Tony Danza? Is that real?

Professor Principal

1.1.1 author JohnRussell replied to Ender @1.1 3 years ago

Sure is. He made that album about 20 years ago. I'm not sure if he kept up with a singing career after that, but he definitely could sing.

and the actual letter from which this was taken:

Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 3 July 1776 , "Had a Declaration..."

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews , Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. -- I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. -- Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.

I always loved that part.
