On this day in 2005 UNESCO award the keris the status of Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Unesco and not Unseco!:D
Yes, and this award drastically boosted the interest for the keris worldwide (making, books, and trade), but 18 years after, it has significantly reduced...:(

Thanks Jean, we are all a bit careless sometimes. LOL! I am, of course, well aware it is UNESCO and will correct my error. ;)

I prefer the Byrds to the King James version myself. LOL! ;)

I probably first heard it from the Byrds, but over time it has become one of my most used bottled & ready to pour quotes.

The Byrds rendition of Dylan's Chimes of Freedom may be more appropriate for these days Mates.

Drifting off topic here. :o
