Remembrance Day is November 11 in Canada, so here is a very interesting and thought provoking poem which was sent to me. Continue reading
“Song of Bernadette”
Jennifer Warnes obviously liked Leonard Cohen’s writings as she released an album (“Famous Blue Raincoat”) based on them. “Song of Bernadette” was an immediate hit with me, and I still love this arrangement of it. Continue reading
” … and so the seasons change!”
This past Monday was a glorious day. We have already bid our farewell to Summer, and have not welcomed Winter just yet. Our weather forecasters were predicting only a slight chance of rain (with sunny periods) so we had a quick discussion, and it was decided to give Ray an extra special walk. Continue reading
“It’s the end of world (as we know it!)”
I was introduced to R.E.M. quite a few years ago during a spinning class! “It’s the end of the world (as we know it)” was the final song of the class and, as R.E.M. were clearly winding down to the end of the song, we were told to sprint … and hold the sprint until the very end.

“I’ve been this way before …”
Last Saturday I linked to Blackmore’s Night performing “Dandelion Wine”, and noted what a great song on which to potentially end a concert program. Continue reading
A New Direction Perhaps?
