Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1975, consisting of English singer-songwriter and guitarist Graham Russell and Australian singer Russell Hitchcock.
With record sales of 100 million worldwide,[1] they had a succession of hits worldwide, including eight top-five hits on the US Billboard Hot 100, "Lost in Love" (1979), "All Out of Love", "Every Woman in the World" (both 1980), "The One That You Love", "Here I Am" (both 1981), "Sweet Dreams", "Even the Nights Are Better" (both 1982) and "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" (1983).
In Australia, they had four top ten placements with "Love and Other Bruises" (1976), "All Out of Love", "Every Woman in the World" and "The One That You Love".
Their highest charting studio album, The One That You Love (1981) reached number ten in both Australia and the US.
The group, which relocated to Los Angeles in the late 1970s, has included many members, with Hitchcock and Russell at the core.
The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) inducted Air Supply into their Hall of Fame on 1 December 2013, at the annual ARIA Awards.

Thine is the power, thine the kingdom, o Lord; Thou art above all nations. * Give peace, o Lord, in our days. ℣. God, creator of all things, fearful and mighty, just and merciful. Give peace in our time, O Lord. (The ninth responsory of the Feast of Christ the King in the Benedictine Office.)
℟. Tua est potentia, tuum regnum, Dómine: tu es super omnes gentes: * Da pacem, Dómine, in diébus nostris. ℣. Creátor omnium, Deus, terríbilis et fortis, justus et miséricors. Da pacem, Dómine, in diébus nostris.

By the time the Feast of Christ the King was instituted in 1925 [Editor: By Pope Pius XI], the Hour of Matins was very rarely sung outside of a fairly small number of Monasteries, and even then, only on major Feasts, and this had been the case for quite a long time.
To the degree that it was done in Choir at all, it was usually done “Recto Tono”. (The common exceptions were Christmas Matins before Midnight Mass and Tenebræ.)
As a result, there was little impetus to compose new Responsories when new Feasts were promulgated.
For example, when Pope Clement XIII first granted permission for the Feast of The Sacred Heart to be Celebrated in certain places, the Matins Responsories of the Office which he promulgated for it were all borrowed from Tenebræ, Trinity Sunday and Corpus Christi.
Likewise, this Responsory is borrowed for Christ the King from the very ancient corpus of Gregorian Chants for the month of October, accompanying the Readings from the Books of the Maccabees, which is why a recording of it is available at all.
This year, the Feast happily coincides with the twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost, the Gospel of which, Matthew 22,15-21 is one of Our Lord’s best-known and most fundamental teachings regarding how we, his followers, are to live in the World, and what our duties to the State are.

“At that time, the Pharisees went and consulted among themselves how to ensnare Jesus in his speech.
“And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: “Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: For thou dost not regard the person of men.
“Tell us therefore what dost thou think, is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not ?”
But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said: “Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites ? Show me the coin of the tribute.”
And they offered him a Penny. And Jesus said to them: “Whose image and inscription is this ?”
They said to him: “Caesar’s.”

Then he saith to them: “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God, the things that are God’s.”
Pope Pius XI’s very purpose in instituting the Feast of Christ the King was, of course, to respond to the ideologies of his era, which taught that man must render to Caesar that which was Caesar’s, and also render to Caesar that which is God’s.
On this Feast Day, since we see these ideologies rising again in the World, let us remember to Pray “for the liberty and exaltation of our Holy Mother the Church”, to which they pose no less of a threat now than they did a Century ago.

A section also went to Tampa and St. Petersburg.
In February 1926, the Train took thirty-five hours to run from New York to West Palm Beach, Florida (Seaboard Rail Track did not reach Miami until 1927).

“Our Chef . . . spent nine of his forty-three years with The Pennsylvania Railroad as Chef on the celebrated All-Pullman New York-to-Florida Train “The Orange Blossom Special” — the most luxurious Winter-Season Train ever devised by man”.
Nothing even remotely resembling a can opener was allowed on the Train. All the pies, cakes, rolls, birthday cakes, were baked on-board, under his supervision. Cut flowers and fresh fish were taken on at every re-victualling Stop, and the Train carried thirty-five hundred Dollars’ worth of wine, liquor and champagne — these at pre-Prohibition prices — for each Run.
In early 2012, a similar Locomotive, painted to resemble a Locomotive of the time, and lettered “Orange Blossom Special”, was moved from its long-time display location at the Church Street Station in Orlando, Florida, to The Gulf Coast Railway Museum in nearby Tampa. Plans are for a multi-year restoration to active status for eventual Excursion Service.

Rouse and Wise wrote the "Orange Blossom Special" song as a fiddle tune. The tune was first recorded by Ervin and his brother, Gordon, one year later in New York.
Bill Monroe recorded Rouse’s and Wise’s tune in 1942 (with Art Wooten on fiddle) and popularised the tune. Johnny Cash named his 1965 album after the song. The song was also recorded by Bill Ramsey and Don Paulin.

“The Blossom” may have used some Lightweight Cars, sporadically, in Mixed Consist with The Pennsylvania Railroad, which hauled “The Blossom” in the North-East Corridor.
The name of this Train was chosen by a public contest. The Seaboard’s Lightweight Trains later became known as The Silver Fleet. This included “The Silver Meteor”, “The Silver Star”, and “The Silver Comet”.
The Train did receive modern EMC E4 Diesel Locomotives in 1938, but continued using Heavyweight Pullmans and American Flyer Coaches until its demise in 1953.
It is also possible the songwriters saw one of the Twin Cities Zephyrs at the Jacksonville Railroad Station in 1935.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad brought the Train to Florida at the invitation of The Seaboard Railroad. It toured the State, making stops in both East and West Coast Florida Cities, where the public were able to view and tour “The Zephyr”. Jacksonville was one of the stops on its Florida Tour.

Hereford Cathedral is the Cathedral Church of the Anglican Diocese of Hereford[1] in Hereford, England.
A place of Worship has existed on the site of the present building since the 8th-Century A.D. The present building was begun in 1079.[2] Substantial parts of the building date from both the Norman and the Gothic periods. The Cathedral is a Grade 1 Listed Building.[3]
The Cathedral has the largest Library of Chained-Books in the World, its most famous treasure being the Mappa Mundi, a Mediæval map of the World, created around 1300 by Richard of Holdingham.[2] The map is listed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.[2]

The Cathedral is Dedicated to two Saints, Saint Mary the Virgin and Saint Ethelbert the King. The latter was beheaded by Offa, King of Mercia, in 794 A.D.[2]
Offa had consented to give his daughter to Ethelbert in marriage: Why he changed his mind and deprived him of his head, historians do not know, although tradition is at no loss to supply him with an adequate motive.
The execution, or murder, is said to have taken place at Sutton, four miles (six km) from Hereford, with Ethelbert’s body brought to the site of the modern Cathedral by “a pious Monk”.

He was buried at the site of the Cathedral.[2] At Ethelbert’s tomb, Miracles were said to have occurred, and in the next Century (about 830 A.D.) Milfrid, a Mercian nobleman, was so moved by the tales of these marvels as to rebuild in Stone the little Church that stood there and to Dedicate it to the Sainted King.
Before this, Hereford had become the Seat of a Bishopric. It is said to have been the centre of a Diocese as early as 670 A.D., when Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, divided the Mercian Diocese of Lichfield, Founding Hereford for the Magonsæte and Worcester for the Hwicce.
In the 7th-Century A.D., the Cathedral was re-Founded by Putta, who settled there when driven from Rochester by Æthelred of Mercia.
The Cathedral of Stone, which Milfrid raised, stood for some 200 years, and then, in the reign of Edward the Confessor, it was altered. The new Church had only a short life, for it was plundered and burnt in 1056 by a combined force of Welsh and Irish under Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, the Welsh Prince; it was not, however, destroyed until its custodians had offered vigorous resistance, in which seven of the Canons were killed.

Henry V (16 September 1386 – 31 August 1422) was King of England from 1413 until his death at the age of thirty-five in 1422. He was the second English Monarch who came from The House of Lancaster.
After military experience fighting the Welsh during the Revolt of Owain Glyn Dwr, and against the powerful aristocratic Percys of Northumberland at the Battle of Shrewsbury, Henry came into political conflict with his father, whose health was increasingly precarious from 1405 onward.
After his father’s death in 1413, Henry assumed control of the Country and embarked on war with France in the ongoing Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) between the two Nations. His military successes culminated in his famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) and saw him come close to conquering France.
Humphrey of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Gloucester, 1st Earl of Pembroke, KG (3 October 1390 – 23 February 1447), was “son, brother and uncle of Kings”, being the fourth and youngest son of King Henry IV of England by his first wife, Mary de Bohun, brother to King Henry V of England, and uncle to the latter’s son, King Henry VI of England.
As a son of the Sovereign, Humphrey bore the Arms of The Kingdom, Differenced by a Bordure Argent. [Editor: A Bordure Argent is a Silver Border].

Once more, unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead !
In Peace, there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let it pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O’erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof !
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from Morn’ till Even’ fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call’d fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good Yeomen,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry “ God for Harry, England, and Saint George ! ”

What’s he that wishes so ?
My cousin Westmoreland ?
No, my fair cousin:
If we are mark’d to die, we are enough
To do our Country loss; and if to live
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s Will !, I Pray thee, wish not one man more.
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this Feast,
Let him depart; his passport shall be drawn
And Crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called The Feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly, on The Vigil, feast his neighbours,
And say: “To-morrow is Saint Crispian”:
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say: “These wounds I had on Crispin’s Day”.
Old men forget: Yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: Then shall our names
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry The King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the World,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so base,
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap while any speaks
That fought with us
upon Saint Crispin’s Day.

Jean II Le Maingre (in Old French, Jehan le Meingre), called Boucicaut (1366 — 1421) was Marshal of France and a Knight renowned for his military skill. In the Battle of Agincourt, 1415, he Commanded the French Vanguard, but was captured by the English and died six years later in Yorkshire.
Charles of Orléans (1394 – 1465) was Duke of Orléans from 1407. Charles was one of the many French noblemen at the Battle of Agincourt. He was discovered un-wounded, but trapped under a pile of corpses, incapacitated by the weight of his own armour. He was taken prisoner by the English, and spent the next twenty-four years being moved from one Castle to another in England.
