Re: [FRIAM] Winter Solstice Feature

[lrudolph]

Dear Nick et al.,

Here's my contribution to your Soltice gaiety, such as it is: a 
follow-the-bouncing-ball-style 
MP4 (prepared on the cheap with Wondershare Filmora's screen-capture) of my C&W 
"Solstice 
Song" (rendered, both as score and MIDI performance, by the excellent freeware 
MuseScore), 
with the vocal line--which should of course be a high-and-lonesome human 
voice--covered by 
harmonica, over rhythm and bass guitar parts.  I assume no one under 50 would 
understand (from 
their own experience, anyway) the operative metaphors in the two non-refrain 
choruses, but 
presumably that is irrelevant here...

Cheers, Lee Rudolph

[FRIAM] Winter Solstice Feature

[Nick Thompson]

This is kind of fun.

What they don't discuss here is the influence of the oceans.  The oceans
reach their lowest and highest temperatures, respectively, on March and
September 1.  So, The coldest day of the year in Massachusetts is on January
27th and, if I remember correctly, February is colder than December.  The
same is true of the UK.  So we in NM should feel blessed by the rapid
recovery of the temperatures after the Solstice.
