ROCKOLLECTIONS: A CELEBRATION OF WINTER PT.3

Well we may have some snow flurries in the next few days.
OK with me, lol!
I will open this episode up with the sounds of Winter, those cold winds blowing.
By the way, all of the unbelievable weather information I got and passed along is from the National Weather Service- so they ought to know a thing or two.
Wait till you hear about the Winter of 1779-80!
I played my favorite Winter song already, so I will share my 2nd favorite with you, plus two songs that have always seemed to me to go together perfectly.
Then the fascinating Winter of 1888!
We will close out with my sermonizing on the treatment of the Acadian people after the French & Indian War- a subject that is recorded so brilliantly in the Band’s Acadian Driftwood.
I can’t stop now.
And I will continue to shovel Winter songs at you, as this is beginning to snowball!
One more chapter to go.

Mike
