Yep...I like to share with my FRiends! :)
Right now it’s just cloudy and moderate. No high wind...yet....
Yes...that is the impression I got.
But I guess I am spoiled ROTTON!
LOL!
I do appreciate your presentaion of new music though, even if i am somewhat opinionated!
Yes, it’s 69 and very windy here now. Lots of moisture in the air, but just a few sprinkles.
70 here...no sprinkles. I guess the cold front rolls in later today. They’re saying blowing sand...I hope not. Ugh!
This was at 16 inches.
I washed my pickup on Wednesday and there was just enough drizzle yesterday to mess it up again.
Holy snow ice cream, Lady!! That’s a lotta snow!
Your fault!!! LOL!
Prior to those projects, I did the various Brill Building composers, the British pop composers of the late Sixties, and songwriters such as Jimmy Webb, P. F. Sloan and Phil Ochs.
Until I get a real brainstorm for a serious composer, I'm going to fall back on the "Rockumentary" project I started in college. It's more mainstream, and I think it will appeal to a larger segment of our audience.
In the meantime, here is that Barber piece for baritone and string quartet from 1935, based on the Matthew Arnold poem.
Samuel Barber: "Dover Beach" w/Barber on vocals from a 1935 RCA recording
Samuel Barber: "Dover Beach" w/Fischer-Dieskau and the Julliard Quartet
This is a two-handkerchief piece. Both Arnold and Barber anticipated the horrors of the 20th Century's wars.
Still, it's not even half of what we got in '78 wnen all the doors were snowed tight. We had to roll up the garage doorand shovel from there. The car was somewhere in the driveway. Took hours just to find it. Now we measure every snow fall by that.
Yikes!!! These are times when I’m glad I live in Texas! LOL!
Of course, there was that guy with tumbleweeds covering his house, but not as hard to remove as snow. :)
I love Texas and Texans but it gets way too hot for me.
Yes, it would. Actually, it gets too hot for me in the summer. It’s actually quite depressing when there are days and days of over 100 degrees.
Oh, well. LOL!
Man, that sky looks really gray....want us to bottle some sunshine and send it your way, Lady J?
(Although not today, we have cloudy skies and chances of snow in the surrounding mountains through the weekend.)
Wow! That looks like Fairbanks!
Cold front tomorrow sounds about right. My boss’s daughters ran into a snow storm and closed roads in Payson yesterday afternoon. It’s definitley headed your way, girl!
Our are is under a T-Storm Watch through this evening. We have a line of storms coming in from the West.
Been up and down the whole east coast of TX, met a slew of friendly people, rode my motorcycle on Padre, and seen it snow in Dallas. Awesome state you’ve got there.
Even 80º is too hot for me. Might use a lot of air conditioning in summer but I make up for it by keeping in the mid 60ºs in winter.
It was heavily overcast and snowing when I took the photo, suprised the snow didn’t show up. We have had a snowy dark winter season. Over 50” of the white stuff compared to 9” last winter.
50”? Yep, that’s a lot of snow for Bahston. Hang in there, spring is coming!
