I have not seen snow, but it is very cold this weekend.
Sorry your Mom fell - thank God she did not get hurt. Falling is a big concern as we age.
Stay warm and get some rest. HUGS

Dion DiMucci started out singng doo-wop on the corners of Belmont Avenue in The Bronx and then turned back to his first love, the blues. Following a religious experience and the end of his drug problems, he came back strongly in 1968. This was from his middle period.

#15: Tony Orlando: “Bless You”

Michael Cassavitis (b. 1944) started singing doo-wop, recorded a few small hits, and then ended up as a vice president at CBS Records. But he couldn’t get the showbiz bug out of his system. Over the years he formed Wind, which had one hit in 1969, and then he hit the jackpot with Dawn in the Seventies.
When I covered the songbook of Brill Building composers Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, this song figured prominently.
