  • Current Music: Jaggery, "Sea of Sideways"

And just between you, me, and the sponsors, lady, I wouldn't pour any of it over the side

Traditionally 1954 is the year I associate with things like Alan Swann and The King Kaiser Comedy Cavalcade as far as live, on-air entertainment is concerned, but I'll make an exception now for The Frank Cyrano Byfar Hour and its associated programming, by which you may understand that I really enjoyed The Big Broadcast of 1954. So did my parents, who I didn't even have to drag. I am so used to the show existing within its own convincing timestream, I didn't realize the rolling coast-to-coast Legend of Sleepy Hollow was real until I got home—look: Ada, Oklahoma?—but I quite liked their essentially faithful adaptation, narrated with the correct grim relish by Tom Champion; I heard three songs by Jaggery before I left, so I bought their latest CD. (Their keyboardist and lead singer is the sister of someone my brother went to high school with. Especially since the band didn't even form in Boston: was not expecting that.) It is not actually the fault of the Post-Meridian Radio Players that I now have Allan Sherman's "Rat Fink" stuck in my head.

Oh, yeah, and it's snowing.

Delighted you had a good time!

I hope all goes well with the snow. We only had sleet down here.

Well, to be honest, I think at this precise moment it's turned to rain.

There's always something unappealling about that sort of rain, at least to me. Any road, I'm glad you're safely home.

There is snow on the ground this morning. It stuck.

I hope it's not been annoying snow, at least. We're predicted to have some tomorrow--there's talk of a full noreaster, with power going out and suchlike unpleasantness.

I'm hoping not, but I made sure the generator and snowblower were working and both gasoline cans were full, just in case.
