I thought this song rather fitting for the post I just wrote. Enjoy.

    Happy Winter Solstice, Sphinx! I hope you're feeling better. At my Ruby Tuesday posts Christmas is stressed (the secular decorations) but I do wish everyone happiness in their own holiday: Hanukkah, Kwaanza, and Winter Solstice. I like to say "Happy HOlidays" to everyone! :)

    Pagan - I've been meaning to write a post about Dar Williams. I love her music and her words. For instance, I never get tired of listening to February. And this one is a family favorite.

    Oh, I hope you do write a post about Dar Williams. I'm not sure if she is a native of Western Mass or if she came to college here and stayed around a bit but was local; at least for a while. And she wrote this great song that was largely about our local, wonderful radio station out of Northampton (now, but was formerly in Greenfield, which is even closer to our home) - I think the song is called Are You Out There. Do you know it? In it she mentions Johnny Memphis and Jim Olsen, both local DJs on that station. I'll have to look it up...
