"Eight Days of Hanukkah"

To celebrate the beginning of Hanukkah here's a brand new song, "Eight Days of Hanukkah," co-written by Madeline Stone, a Jewish woman who writes contemporary Christian music in Nashville, and Orin Hatch. The Republican Senator Orin Hatch of Utah. A Mormon. It is sung by Rasheeda Azar, a Syrian-American from Terre Haute, IN.

Again, this is one of those things where you can rightly say, "Only in America."
