Letter: Hymn has a colorful history
Enterprise-Record
Maybe it is a myth? Is there a campus historian who can verify this more amusing tale of the birth of the hymn?I was told the story soon after I came to Chico. A group of students wrote the words for a one-verse hymn but they were stumped by needing music. Someone suggested the tune to “Finlandia” by Jean Sibelius. Everyone was happy with this idea and they rewrote the lyrics to go with the well-known melody. Just one problem: Jean Sibelius was alive and well in Finland. What to do? Write and ask him. A letter was composed and sent off to the famous composer asking permission to use the tune and what would be the fee charged for this use?Sibelius responded to their letter with a gracious one of his own giving his cordial approval for using “Finlandia” in the college hymn.

Dry Idea: Just Thinking About Martinis
Nashville Scene
My sexy friend endorsed Morton’s martini–Finlandia straight up couple of olives a little dirty–as one of the best in town. With icy shards on top and blue cheese optional she called it “a meal. My no-nonsense friend nodded to Bound’ry. She wasn’t so specific about the brand of vodka–and yes we were talking vodka–but we agreed the presentation with the tiny carafe cooling in a separate glass of ice water is always a nice trick. Sure you could chill your drink on.
