Finally!

 

Last evening we got some snow!!! I have a friend whose birthday is the 18th and quite often the snow comes on that day, so we are ten days later. It has been a warm autumn and some bushes still have their leaves. The sun came out and melted most of it away, but I am just happy to see it. I am a cold weather girl.

When You Were Big and I Was Small - Katie Theasby

The other evening I watched the wonderful The Job of Songs on Prime - Irish musicians in Doolin. One of them is the woman singing this, Katie Theasby. I've listened to it a half dozen times, and I cry every time. Wonderful song. She refers to Grapefruit Moon, the Tom Waits song, and Come On Eileen, by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

A goodbye to Kris Kristofferson - The Highwaymen - The Pilgrim: Chapter 33 (American Outlaws: Live at Nass...

I spent a wonderful time at youtube finding just the right song to honor the late Kris Kristofferson. I thought this one from The Highwayman would be good because those men are just so happy to be singing and playing together. Kris was a very big part of my life. Tom and I loved him from the first. I was lucky enough to see him three times, I think. One show Tom missed because he had his appendix out! I was in the front row in a lovely Boston small venue.
