How old were you in December 1963? Were you even born yet? Roland and I were both 6 years old. I lived at the Lighthouse on the mouth of the Thames River outside of Tilbury and Roland lived in Montreal. We were far apart geographically, but I'll bet we were both dreaming of a Happy Christmas!

"A Hazy Shade of Winter" is a song by American music duo Simon & Garfunkel, released on October 22, 1966, initially as a stand-alone single, but was subsequently included on the duo's fourth studio album, Bookends (1968). The song peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1987, The Bangles recorded a cover version of the song that charted higher, at number two on the national charts. "A Hazy Shade of Winter" follows a more rock-tinged sound, with a fairly straightforward verse-refrain structure. The song dates back to Simon's days in England in 1965. The song follows a hopeless poet, with "manuscripts of unpublished rhyme", unsure of his achievements in life. The lyrics evoke the passage of the seasons, but (as the title suggests) focusing on the gloominess of winter. The chorus of the song repeats: But look around, leaves are brown now And the sky is a hazy shade of winter Look around, leaves are brown There's ...

From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar When the dawn begins to crack, it's all part of my autumn almanac Breeze blows leaves of a musty-colored yellow So I sweep them in my sack, yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac Friday evenings, people get together Hiding from the weather, tea and toasted Buttered currant buns, can't compensate For lack of sun because the summer's all gone La la la la, oh my poor rheumatic back Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac La la la la, oh my autumn almanac Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac I like my football on a Saturday Roast beef on Sundays, all right I go to Blackpool for my holidays Sit in the open sunlight This is my street and I'm never gonna to leave it And I'm always gonna to stay here if I live to be ninety-nine 'Cause all the people I meet, seem to come from my street And I can't get away because it's calling me, ...

Those that know us and our musical taste know we are big fans of Tom Waits - especially Roland who is boarderline OCD over Mr. Waits. Below is a video of his song NOVEMBER from his album called 'Black Rider'. For those who have never heard Tom, this is not the place to start - Black Rider is one of his most challenging records. It is actually the music from a musical play he wrote with William Burroughs (of Naked Lunch fame). I suggest you listen to the lyrics. Tom's phrasing and word skills are amazing.
