When Saanichton received a huge snowfall a few years ago, I went out right away with my phone and took some video. Then I attached my 1990's recording of Too Much Snow, as it described a similarly heavy and sudden, but rural,  Ontario snowfall.

Fifteen thousand miles is pretty much the other side of the earth from where you are. This song was made with one mic, on one day, after about 50 takes.

Homesteading is hard. Many city people, myself included, tried it and gave up after a while. We were pioneers in those brave and early years.

Sometimes I like to play the bossanova and the tango, maybe because my mama and Juanita lived near Mexico. My father said if I could dress more pretty maybe then I could play in Massey Hall or in the stadium. Sometimes I wonder 'cause I'm in the suburbs hitting forty. My son is wonderful and he's eating up Weird Al like crazy. And my husband, well, I think he's going crazy. And my daughter, well, I guess she's just another me. What is it? Is it kind of a test? I know that I am doing my best when I try to track it down. Do-re-me all night long.
