Let's talk....We need a soundtrack for this conversation so:
This has been such a warm winter that I almost forgot what real winter was like. Usually, here in Detroit, we would have been through two or three deep snows by now. I was complaining about how unnaturally warm it was - until yesterday.
Suddenly the the real winter weather arrived, now sitting here with the sniffles, I'm reminiscing about a love of mine who has gone away for a season.... Summertime!
So, I thought I'd share some music with you today to help you and I get over these winter blues.
I'm really looking forward to this summer in Detroit. Seems we're finally getting the hang of doing great festivals. Downtown is coming back to life, and the River Walk from downtown to Belle Isle is supposed to be finished by then.
Since the countdown to summer has already begun, and there are only 5 months and a few days till summer's start - June 23, 2007. We might as well start getting ready.
The song we're listening to as we converse is "Summertime" by Herbie Hancock, with Joni Mitchell singing from his 1998 CD 'Gershwin's World'. (That's Wayne Shorter on the horn, and Stevie Wonder on the harmonica.)
Take a few minutes and listen to the whole track, escape the grayness of winter and let your mind go back to the days of short sleeves, shorts, flip-flops, and barbecue....
These songs are just a reminder of what is coming.... Enjoy....
You know the drill by now.... JSATCS!
