Today is Luther's commemoration day, as he died in the early hours of February 18, 1546.
In his honor, I'm posting a well-researched song I wrote about Luther and beer. In this case, "well-researched" means that the lyric sheet (also below) has footnotes.
Beyond remembering Luther, this song inspired me to refresh this long-dormant webpage. I'll use it this year to post thoughts on this historic anniversary year... the big 500.
Enjoy the song, with it's catchy title, "Historical Essay on Martin Luther and Beer, in the Form of a Folk Song," and its slightly catchier chorus, "Martin Luther drank the beer that Katie Luther brewed."
Peace,
Martin
P.S. When you click on the 'download file' thing below, it might look like the song is 14 minutes long. It's not. It comes in at more like 5 minutes.
