The day began with an early morning phone call to postpone the MD visit to the end of the month. So, that freed up several hours for other stuff. <smile> I walked out for milk and then got the winter tires changed for the non-snow seasons.
The weather has been yucky -- grey skies and wind. There should be rain for the next few days and wind for today and tomorrow at least. This is part of the system that blew through Florida and the Carolinas yesterday ending in New England in the overnight. We could use some rain as the ground is very dry at present.
Today is the 90th birthday of an amazing songwriter and performer -- Willie Nelson. He was part of the outlaw country genre. Over two dozen number one are attributed to him. His songs have been covered and made hits by many artists. I chose to share a song by him and one made famous by another singer. The first is a power ballad recorded by the singer while she had broken ribs and stood with crutches in the recording studio. That arrangement changed the sound of country music with the use of more complex chord than usual. The second has a lovely melody and rhythm that emphasize the lyrics well.I chose a version recorded by the songwriter and another country artist for his final album. Stay safe. Enjoy!
Crazy -- Patsy Cline
Funny How Time Slips Away -- Willie Nelson
