The week ended with a partly sunny day. The morning was grey and cloudy, but sun emerged by midday. Temperatures were cold, but the sun helped me to think warmer thoughts. I moved the inch or two of snow from yesterday. Much ice remained under that. My afternoon walk took me back to Main Street for a more successful trip to complete shopping errands than the trip earlier in the week. I had a late lunch when I returned home followed by a nap that lasted longer than expected, which I put down to weather and stress. I did feel somewhat refreshed afterwards, though.
Another great music personage died this week. Meatloaf was known for the very theatrical sound of his productions. The first album Bat out of Hell was a rock opera with amazing powerful songs by Jim Steinman -- songs that many people of a certain age know word for word. <smile> This concept album was followed by several others. People who saw Meatloaf perform live were blown away by his stage showmanship. His unique approach to music and story-telling will be missed.
It was not easy to choose one of Meatloaf's songs to share today. I finally tossed a virtual coin <smile>. This one illustrates the operatic song style and his powerful vocals. Keep safe. Enjoy!
You Took the Words Right Out of my Mouth -- Meatloaf
