Thursday two-fer 

It's Thursday at the blog house (see outside my window at the Window Cam) and music on the turntable is eclectic today. Nicolette Larson, looking very seventies-ish in her peasant dress and long hair (and a bit waifish and sexy too,) the album from 1978. Funny, I never remembered the song about the spiritual woman and the unbelieving man. That song, which was written in 1957, is one of those where the protagonist of sorts dies and the world changes afterwards, in this case, the husband believes, her prayer before she died so he can raise the children. Well, of course I didn't blink at this song in 1978 but it sure made me cry today. The song is "Angels Rejoiced" by the Louvin brothers. Sadly, Nicolette died in 1997, she was only 44.

And, Harry James and his orchestra from a direct-to-disk album (remember those?,) the album "Comin' From A Good Place" from 1976. Oh well, I'm going to throw in a little Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir and Phil Keaggy to boot I think.

The snow has ended and the mantle of white is soiled by the dirt and oil thrown up by the cars and trucks. We didn't get as much snow as the forecasters thought, so I don't know if my nephew will be able to take Andy snowboarding this Saturday. For me, the rest of the week is busy, with my single parents meeting tonight and my counseling seminar tomorrow night.

Reunion business is blooming, not that I am in the reunion business but we had a very productive meeting Tuesday night and we're still talking about it. We are running this show like a combination of a stage show and a wedding, so we have an elegant and surprising venue. I think my classmates will remember this for a long time.

Aunt Judie has been posting about how you dance, not with your feet, but how you live your life. Interesting reading, thanks Judie!


Later...
