Saturday musi(c)ngs

Good Saturday morning, all

It is frosty again in Kenai. Our subzero temps had finally left us and we had a couple of days of above zero weather. Ahhhh, surprising what 20-30 degrees difference will do for the soul. Alas, we are back to the below zero temps.

This is earlier than usual. We expect at least one week of subzero temps during January or February. December is a no-no. But, we take it as we get it. It's either that or become a snow-bird and fly away when the temps dip below 40 degrees. LOL - a lot of people do that.

We haven't had any more snow, but what is there isn't going anywhere for awhile. It makes driving visibility much better. The moose stand out against the snow on these dark roads. We still have to be careful, but it is easier to spot them right now. See - a good thing about snow.

I am taking a page from Jen's book and have popped in a Christmas cd. This is no ordinary one, though. I have all four of the Merry Christmas from Alaska cds. Ordered the 5th one last night.

Kurt Riemann does the synthesizer work. The musicians are all from Alaska and include a variety of vocal styles and musical styles. One of the cuts (either on this one or #3 - I haven't heard all the way through this one yet) has the Riemann's unborn baby's heartbeat woven through the accompaniment. It is very moving. But, then again, I AM a gramma.

Well, you all stay warm. And, those of you back east who are slogging through heavy, wet snow . . . be careful out there.
