Snowed In...

       


In anticipation of a snow day tomorrow with the hyped up snow storm that's bringing impending doom to our local roads, I've decided to burn the midnight oil and jump on the opportunity to post some snow themed music. Let's start things off with some pep. Joel Plaskett has a tune that is aptly named "Snowed In." I think you should check it out (regardless of what's going on outside the windows, it's worth a listen). And bringing the snow our way is Gord Downie's "East Wind." It's definitely not the Hip, nevertheless, Gordie's familiar voice and lighter listening style of his solo project is comfortable and enjoyable. (I do miss Paul Langlois stellar harmonies though.) And to just to depart form the Great White North for a moment (albeit not from Pearson Airport anytime soon apparently), in case the power fails and we are reduced to candlepower, let's I suggest listening to an old Southern favourite "Long as I Can See the Light" from CCR. It should be a nice accompaniment to that last gulp of warm java before layering up to go dig out. Enjoy, and stay safe and warm!
