Cabin

I was asked to do a show at one of my senior facilities recently with a cozy cabin theme. I had so much fun finding songs and playing them that I thought it would be a great theme for my Wednesday online show. I have spent some of my favorite times in a cabin whether it was in the mountains or at a lake or ocean shore. There’s just something so enchanting about a cabin with its simple ambience and rustic feel. It’s filled with a nostalgia for the historic past when folks lived closer to the land and were more self-reliant. I sometimes long for those days. I can remember quiet mornings with the clouds hanging low in a meadow with an ancient fire crackling in the fireplace and damp boots drying by the door while a map was laid out with wonderful plans and adventure waiting. I’ve even had a hand in building ia cabin, and it makes me feel connected to my ancestors in a deep way. “Away, away, come away with me, and I’ll build you a home in the meadow.” Sounds good, doesn’t it?

What have I been up to?

I had 10 senior facilities last week including 1 new one on Valentine’s Day that went really well. I played love songs for all of them, and it was so good spreading some love and warm feelings. I so enjoy playing for these folks. 

My Wednesday online show was also doing love songs, and it went so well. There were lots of great requests, and I think we did Saint Valentine proud. I love this group. 

My Sunday online show was favorites and requests, and I did a lot of Mardi Gras songs in addition to some great requests. What a night!

What am I up to this week?

I have 14 senior facilities this week, and I hope to play Mardi Gras songs for at least a few of them before Fat Tuesday is over. There are so many fun songs for Mardi Gras. 

My Wednesday online show 7-8:45 mountain time will be cabin songs. I had thought about doing Mardi Gras songs, but they don’t mean as much once the day is over. So we’ll do cabins songs as I wrote about above. There are so many songs that make me think of the fun and warmth of a cabin that I know it’ll be a good time. Come on out if this sounds good to you. 

My Sunday online show 7-8:45 mountain time will be favorites and requests as always, and this is always the highlight of the week as the friendship and camaraderie flow with the good tunes. I love playing for all of the Munch Bunch, and you’re always welcome!

That’s it for this week. It already feels like winter is waning here even though I know we’ll get some snow and cold coming. It even rained overnight a couple nights ago which is very odd for us in February. I hope you are healthy and happy even with all the angst in the world. 

Best,

Tom
