Day 21 (386) – January 21, 2019
Stillness – VJ’s Weekly / Evanescent – 3-Way Manic Monday / Chimneys and Fireplaces – Photo for the Week / Plaster – FOWC / Dream – WODC
It was downright cold today. Freezing (below actually) to be exact, like Arctic cold. So it was a good day to stay in. Except that I didn’t. I risked the elements to find a great stillness shot of the ice. The snow, plastered onto the trees by the ice, helped to create the scene. The only thing that kept it from looking like it was straight out of a dream, well, was the cold. The fake fire, resting on the wall in a nearby diner, really did nothing to warm the air. In fact, I am pretty sure the flames were thankful to be inside. Think warm thoughts, and if it’s warm where you are, pretend it’s not.
My response to the Manic Monday 3-Way is one of my favorite songs by perhaps one of my top 3 favorite bands. This song just speaks to me. I decided to share this version from the Grammy’s because I love the orchestra behind them. Just very classy for a hair band.

Love the photos and could feel the cold from here, though that might be because it’s -3°C here ❄️

I like your selection of photos… I was looking at the 1st one for a bit enjoying the snow, and then I got a chill. So I read further, saw the fire place and warmed right up. I’m still smiling, because I wasn’t expecting it yet I was unknowingly in need of it. Nailed it!

Amazing how many of us love that song. I had no idea the singer had an opera background.

Yes and he’s classically trained. There is actually a recording of him singing an Italian song on their Take Cover album.

I never really followed the band, but hearing that song all those years ago spoke to me. I may have to check out their Take Cover album.

There are a number of interesting cover choices. As a musical theatre nerd, the version of Heaven On Their Minds from JC Superstar, really blew me away.

Where can I find that one? I saw the movie JC Superstar when it came out in ‘73…and saw the play in Santa Barbara a few years back. Was interesting seeing Ted Neely still playing JC.

I saw Ted. He was still rolling through. Could not believe he hadn’t shredded his vocals by then. Don’t know if you saw last years broadcast, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Here is the version of Heaven on Minds I talked about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9ZidYLhuGg
