We had that here yesterday, a day when someone forgets to open the curtains, as I call it. A day when the day does not come. My god, how I hate it. That's why I am packing, I am leaving this season behind. But I also want to say, to cheer you up Gerard, that today the curtains are open over London again, there is a real day out there with a yellowish light and a whiff of blue in the sky, so it will happen where you are too. It can change so fast, that is the best thought to hold on to! Lieve PS I know some people love this greyness, so I don't want to generalise. It was just a reaction from the guts when I read your words. >________________________________ >From: gerard mclaughlin >To: Betsy Blue >Cc: "joni@smoe.org" >Sent: Tuesday, 15 November 2011, 10:22 >Subject: Re: Recent NPR mentions > >I was prepared to wait until the end of the month for Fifty Words for Snow >but here we are... sitting in the kitchen this grey grey morning with it >playing in my ears.Thankyou, Betsy. .

Oh the magic ! I used to wait every year for Joni's new album. Some years it came other years it didn't. Winter was never the same somehow when Joni didn't come. A bit like snow. This album is as puzzling as Hejira was to me. Stirring up my soul from the dust of its sleep. Waking the witch. Like Joni with Hejira, Kate has moved on from the girl she once was. A womans work. Ah well there's something lost and something's gained in living every day....Back to Kate. Back to see if I can get a hand on this particular snowflake... Thankyou, Betsy. Wild Man blows me away in a drift that's for sure.If I was a girl I'd whip on a ballroom dress and dance accross the roof swirling the stuff up like boults of lace....waving truce against the moon....Kate'll have to do this year.I'm sure Joni won't mind.

Very talented young lady; some of the best covers in my opinion, even better than many professional singers. Can't seem to find out much about her other than that she's also a talented figure skater. Anyone else know anything about her? Check her out on Facebook.
