Day 5 - 55 -- Celebrating Heart Month

A usual Saturday was spent doing laundry and such at home. Skies looked threatening in the afternoon with deep grey-blue clouds, which usually means snow in about 5 minutes. Yet nothing seemed to happen as the clouds blew over. In the evening, I met a friend for a concert to benefit the Heart and Stroke Foundation -- February is Heart Month. The concert was called -- Won't Back Down, a tribute to Tom Petty performed by many local groups and individuals. It began with I Won't Back Down and ended with Learning to Fly. In between were many songs. The amps were cranked on a few tunes and others were softer. All in all, it was an enjoyable evening.

Listening to the music tonight I knew it would be difficult to choose something to share here <smile>. Petty's oeuvre contains such variety. I chose two played this evening. The first gives a bit of background to his pronunciation <smile>. The second contains some wonderful metaphors and leads one to ponder about possible isolation in our lives.
