I don’t know about any of you but I think little Jackie Evancho is just unbelievable. I’ve always enjoyed Sarah Brightman but have them both sing together was just amazing. Her parents must be busting with pride.

Fantastic Video from VJ Day

Written by Ed on August 25, 2010 – 11:00 pm -

I’ll not forget the evening celebration. I was at the home of a man who restored my small Kent brand radio to working order. As he turned it on just after 7 p.m. EDT to check his repair, president Truman announced the Japanese surrender. Ken’s son, Bob, was home on leave from the Navy and asleep on their living room couch. Ken rushed upstairs to wake his son with the great news. Our town, Columbiana, Ohio, went nuts until far into the night. We rode our bicycles through the village streets with flags attached. Cars continued to circle the small downtown area with horns blaring and tossing small firecrackers along the curb. My Dad went into our backyard and fired off his shotgun in celebration. He and Mom also consumed a few adult beverages.

65 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender. Kodachrome 16mm film: God Bless Kodachrome, right? I was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what I had previously posted, so I re-did this film and replaced the older version. There are more still images from this amazing day, in color, at discoveringhawaii.com
