Behold that star!
Behold that star up yonder!
Behold that star!
It is the star of Bethlehem.

This is the star of Bethlehem,
For Him who was born free from sin.
This is the star of Bethlehem.

The Wise Men came on from the East,
To worship Him, the Prince of Peace.

From angel hosts all robed in white.

"Thomas Washington Talley (October 9, 1868 – July 11, 1952)
was a chemistry professor at Fisk University and a collector of African
American folk songs.
Early life and education
Thomas Washington Talley was born on October 9, 1868, in
Shelbyville, Tennessee. He was one of eight children born to former slaves,
Charles Washington and Lucinda Talley.[1]
Talley attended public school for six years, followed by
high school and college at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, where he
received an A.B. in 1890 and a master's degree in 1893. Starting in 1888 he
participated in the Fisk music program, singing with the New Fisk Jubilee
Singers and the Mozart Society, as well as the Fisk Union Church. He also
conducted the Fisk choir for a number of seasons.[2]
Talley received a Doctor of Science degree from Walden
University in 1899. After completing his doctorate, Talley went on to
participate in post graduate programs at Harvard University in 1914 and 1916.
He completed his dissertation at the University of Chicago years later in 1931,
at the age of 61.[1] The title of his dissertation is Theories relating to the
constitution of the boron hydrides.[3]
Interests
Chemistry
Talley held teaching positions at several black colleges:
Alcorn A&M College in Lorman, Mississippi, in 1891; at Florida A&M in
Tallahassee, Florida, in 1893; and Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama, in
1900.[2]
From 1903 to 1942, Talley taught chemistry and biology at
Fisk University.[1] He also chaired the chemistry department at Fisk for 25
years.[2] Talley-Brady Hall on Fisk's campus is named for Thomas Talley and St.
Elmo Brady, another Fisk alumnus and chemist who was a student of Talley's.[4]
Negro Folk Rhymes (Wise and Otherwise)
Talley began collecting rural black folk songs later in his
life. Talley's first collection, published in 1922, Negro Folk Rhymes (Wise and
Otherwise) contained 349 secular folksongs and spirituals. Already being
well-known as the first such collection assembled by an African-American
scholar,[2] the book was seen at the time as a "masterpiece of the
field".[5] It was not only the first compilation of African-American
secular folk songs, but also of folk songs of any kind from Tennessee.[2] An
edited edition of Negro Folk Rhymes was re-released in 1991. Additional
published works about music by Talley include The Origin of Negro Traditions
and A Systematic Chronology of Creation.[1]
The publication of Negro Folk Rhymes marked a turning point
in the study of African-American verse. Before its publication, little note had
been taken of black secular traditions. Talley's book, along with a later
collection by Howard Odum and Guy Johnson, called attention to these works.[6]
Personal life
Talley married Ellen Eunice Roberts on August 28, 1899. The
couple had two daughters." -snip- This page makes no mention of Dr. Thomas W. Talley composing the Christmas song "Behold That Star".

His name is Angus, but he prefers Maighstir (Master).
Maighstir and I are joined by my second significant guide, Nagriin - an Australian First Nations spiritual elder and healer - I don't know Nagriin's earthy name but he loves the Woromi Tribe First Nation word for Uncle. In Australia we call our elders and tribal leaders Uncle/Aunty as a sign of respect.
I've read tarot for 25 years - and also read on past/future lives and occasionally am shown soul crossings. This is my gift to you and I ask for no reward in return.
