I hate winter--no doubt about it! I hate snow. I hate cold, and my latest philophsy is to never subject your body to a temperature colder than your age. As Jimmy Buffett said "I gotta' go where it's warm."

Failing this, and while watching the snow beginning to cover my patio, I decided to call my old friend Hank (the lurker) Bowman in the sunny south to see how he was faring during their recent cold snap in Louisiana. Hank's doing fine, but I'm freezing my butt off. He said he was thinking about me up here in the frozen north and said a song came to mind that he thought I might be able perform-- A Place In The Sun . I've never done this one, but decided to give it a try. Hank said it sounded good, and a young lady that listened to it agreed. I'm sure looking forward to spring, putting the sailboat back in the water and sailing away to anyplace in the warm sun. As always, I'm looking forward to any and all constructive criticism from the good folks on this forum.

Cheers,

Gary

Gary, come on down. You can hear Hank do it too.
A mutual friend of ours, Billy Ledbetter, has used it for years as his theme song. He played Las Vegas for many years and is a really talented entertainer.

Laid back and smooth as glass.

Nice job, Gary.

Makes me think of warmer places...


It was -10 Celsius here on Cape Breton Island today.

Gary, sounds great, gives me a vision of laying back in a hammock sipping a pina colada and checking out the BOTB. Move south, young man, life's too short.

Thanks for the complements guys. Tonight's forecast is for more snow, changing to freezing rain. Hopefully, no freezing rain, but in this part of the world it happens alot. At the very least I'll have to fire the snow blower up first thing in the morning so I can get the van out of the driveway.

Just another fun day in Paradise,

Gary
