Happy (Rainy) Monday

It's currently Monday in Midwestern USA and it's raining where I am, thus I have the perfect song for the moment. I posted a live BBC performance of it in here some years back, so I thought I'd post the studio version this time.

I hope your Monday is/was sunnier than mine.
If not, just let Karen Carpenter's voice make it all better.

Rain In January?

Yep. It was raining earlier here in Wisconsin. (It's snowing now, but never mind that.) It's also Monday, which is the perfect opportunity to post some Carpenters.  :-D

Hopefully the weather is lovely wherever you are. :-)

Songs From The Spiral #2

And here it is...


The second installment of the weekly feature, Songs From The Spiral...

          This week's a capella offering is of one of my most favorite Christmas songs ever. Now, before you start groaning, hear me out. It's not of a hymn or a carol, and it's not a novelty song, either (although I am considering posting one tomorrow -- Can't a girl have a little fun now and then? Sheesh! *grin*). But it is a truly lovely song that's a classic in my eyes, and maybe, deep down, you love it, too.

          Christmas song or not, the melody and the music alone are beautiful and I hope that I do it justice. I'm unsure that I can really compare to the original singer, though, so I did it my own way. :-) This song is one of the very few Christmas songs that I feel confident 'releasing' in this manner and I really wanted to do it as I love it so. I hope you like the result! Please click the following link to listen.
