SNOW DAY!!!
« on: March 09, 2006, 04:58:10 PM »
Well, wishful thinking anyway.

But check the forecast for tomorrow and Saturday:

ETA: Sent the following e-mail to DM:

Might have to be arranged last minute, but if it snows in the next day or so, might I suggest a 10@10 snow set?

Cold Rain and Snow
Van Morrison-Snow in San Anselmo (a must)
Rolling Stones' Winter
Don’t Eat Yellow Snow
maybe a song or two by Hank Snow? Phoebe Snow? Snow Patrol?

Could be fun, give it some thought.
Let's get right to it.

Steve Miller, "Wintertime"
BS&T "Sometimes in Winter"
Doors, "Wintertime Love"

But on the subject of theme sets, in addition to St Pat's next Friday, Tuesday 3/14 is "Pi Day" (as in 3.14), so a set of "number songs" is not out of the question.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Funny you should mention Pi. I have the new Kate Bush record Aerial on my iTunes at work, and it includes a song called Pi (or rather the symbol therefor). Lyrics to follow. I like Pi too, but I like the kind served ala mode.

π

Sweet and gentle sensitive man
With an obsessive nature and deep fascination
For numbers
And a complete infatuation with the calculation
Of PI

Oh he love, he love, he love
He does love his numbers
And they run, they run, they run him
In a great big circle
In a circle of infinity

3.1415926535 897932
3846 264 338 3279

Oh he love, he love, he love
He does love his numbers
And they run, they run, they run him
In a great big circle
In a circle of infinity
But he must, he must, he must
Put a number to it

50288419 716939937510
582319749 44 59230781
6406286208 821 4808651 32

Oh he love, he love, he love
He does love his numbers
And they run, they run, they run him
In a great big circle
In a circle of infinity

82306647 0938446095 505 8223…


She's a wacky one that, Kate.
Let's get right to it.

Sly & the Family Stone's entire There's a Riot Goin' On album is about snow.

Oh, and add Prince's "Sometimes It Snows in April" to the setlist.

I can see snow from my office window, as Mission Peak & the surrounding hills are well coated.  If the clouds lifted a little higher I'm sure Mt Hamilton is in even better (snow) condition, as it is quite a bit taller.

Over on the west side it seems only the tippy tops of the Santa Cruz Mtns have any snow.  Can anyone see Mt. Tam from where they are?

I can see it out my living room window--there was a little dusting of snow visible on the easternmost peak, and the rest of the summit was obscured by clouds (gratuitous Pink Floyd reference not intended).
