Clap along if you believe that happiness is the truth…
—Happy, Pharell Williams
This is not meant to be commentary on the happenings of the past day.
Okay, maybe it is.
Actually, I wasn’t going to post anything today. I’ve posted something every day here for at least a couple of months and figured that skipping a day wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
But I came across the video below from Postmodern Jukebox of an alternate version of Happy, the Pharrell Williams mega-hit, performed by Swedish jazz musician/multi-instrumentalist/dancer Gunhild Carling. I have shared a different video of her performing once before and had seen this video before but seeing it this morning made me smile.
Made me happy. And it’s a good day to be at least a little happy.
Besides, who doesn’t want to see Gunhild play three trumpets at one time, tap-dance and move seamlessly from instrument to instrument during the song? 10 different instruments in all, including the bagpipes. I’ve been reading a bit about vaudeville lately and this would no doubt have been a big hit back in the day.
See for yourself. Hope it makes you at least a little happy.

That is GREAT!
