Winter Solstice Feature

[Nick Thompson]

This is kind of fun.

What they don’t discuss here is the influence of the oceans.  The oceans reach their lowest and highest temperatures, respectively, on March and September 1.  So, The coldest day of the year in Massachusetts is on January 27^th and, if I remember correctly, February is colder than December.  The same is true of the UK.  So we in NM should feel blessed by the rapid recovery of the temperatures after the Solstice.

Dear Nick et al.,

Here's my contribution to your Soltice gaiety, such as it is: a follow-the-bouncing-ball-style
MP4 (prepared on the cheap with Wondershare Filmora's screen-capture) of my C&W "Solstice
Song" (rendered, both as score and MIDI performance, by the excellent freeware MuseScore),
with the vocal line--which should of course be a high-and-lonesome human voice--covered by
harmonica, over rhythm and bass guitar parts.  I assume no one under 50 would understand (from
their own experience, anyway) the operative metaphors in the two non-refrain choruses, but
presumably that is irrelevant here...

Cheers, Lee Rudolph
