Speaking of Hanukkah...

In my last post, I wondered about why no Christians write Hanukkah songs, as so many Jews write (very good) music about Christmas.

As it turns out, someone has.

It's quite a catchy tune.  What makes it really interesting is the source.

Would you believe the song's author is the senior Senator from Utah, Orrin Hatch?  I kid you not.  And Hatch is a Mormon.  Go figure.

I can't figure out how to create a link to the song, but you'll find it at NPR's web site.  Enjoy.
