I'm a Dan Fan

Gosh it's nine am already and I'm not half through all I have to do this morning before work at noon. I'm going to have to get up earlier than five-thirty if I want to post anything longer than a photo and some music links. Since I can't go backward in time and actually slept in a bit, this is the best I can do.

I'm going to feature the wonderful Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks today. Today's photo of apple blossoms on my Shutterchance blog goes better with the first song than today's photo of apple blossoms here. I loved this group so much back in the seventies but only hear of them when I visit Dan's website. Garden in the Rain is the song for today but let me tell you that the song has nothing to do with our weather. We are sunny and warm and it's like heaven here. Fun songs are a trademark of Dan and His Hot Licks. Here's My Cello in that vein. Here's a couple more... How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away, The Piano Has Been Drinking, C'mon a My House, and some serious ones, Walk Right In, I Scare Myself, and Our Love Is Here To Stay. I'll end with a phrase all Dan Fans will know....Thanks, Dan.

I hope to have more time tomorrow.

Done It Again

I'm starting late and I'm expecting company so this may be long and drawn out over time. Having had a glorious half hour out in the sunshine with the kitties is my reason for being late. The warm, beautiful sunshine is very welcome.

I arrived a day early for an appointment this morning. I believe I may have reported that happening once since starting this blog over three years ago. I once arrived at the annual music festival, where my son was playing in the jazz band, and there wasn't a car in the parking lot of the theater where it was being held. I couldn't understand it. That was the first time. This was the third. I hate when that happens. Worst is I have to drive back over to this appointment tomorrow and with the new high price of gas.....

Amazingly PEI's price controlled gas went up at midnight and so did world oil prices to $112. Just after saying yesterday my fears of how our economy won't be able to handle it. I feared that type of increase too as they're predicting even higher costs for oil this summer. Out price on PEI will rise again on April 30th most certainly.

Doomy and gloomy. Sorry. I have the perfect song. I Scare Myself is from Dan Hicks. Kat played some Dan yesterday too. I still have a couple of vinyls of Dan Hicks and His Hotlicks and love to share. Here's The Piano Has Been Drinking, Our Love Is Here To Stay, How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away , Walk Right In, C'mon a My House, Just to break things up...Chemi Eri with a version C'mon a My House

Some strange Groundhog Day (the movie) thing just happened. I linked the two new songs and they were no longer linked. Ok....... I've done t again.

Love
