Algy, here you again ! Stealing hours of my week – Stones > Keith Richards and Norah Jones (who looks remarkably uncomfortable singing ‘Love Hurts’ with Keith) > >>>

and it’s all downhill after that.

I love the weekly playlist, Algy. It takes me to all kinds of neat places.

Many thanks.

Winter in America was written by Jimmy Steward, an Irish born writer who I knew very well. He lived in the street behind us in East Balmain and was part of our Vegie-group. I know it is supposed to have been a co-written product but Dough Ashdown was the musician more than the writer of lyrics.Jimmy used to write the lyrics and improve the wording while I was driving him to Flemington markets to buy the fruit and vegies for the twelve couples who were part of the vegie co-op. Jimmy was an incorrigible bon vivant, hugely likable but somewhat of a free spirit when it came to commitments of any sort. In other words, very Irish.

I never forget this song and the lyrics, beautiful.

  Thanks for that Gerard, what a joy to pick a tune for the weekly list then find that you have a personal connection to the song. Indeed its a beautiful tune.

  …and Vivaldi’s Winter….simply heavenly.
  I saw a TV program that was made about Vivaldi’s four seasons, the winter part happened in northern Finland, the part played by most fantastic Finnish musicians…

  The beauty of doing a series on the seasons is that you have vivaldi who wrote a symphony on the four seasons. I remember the TV show on this and from memory this is a clip from it. Oh and a couple of favourites I knew you’d like.

  The pictures maybe cold but the music isn’t. Some warm music for the cold days. 🙂
