Oh December
So it's been a hectic week to say the least, but today as I walked down the stairs of George Martin Hall I stopped. I love Christmas Time. I really, particularly when they are joined with my favourite night of the week, Sunday. Sunday nights in December are charmingly beautiful. Breathtaking if I may say so. I just stopped in the courtyard and looked at the trees lit up with lights and I just stopped. I love when the air is crisp, not windy, but crisp, so that you can hear everything sround you. I love feeling my cheeks getting rosy and feeling cozy with my coat, mittens and scarf. It really just made my month.
December is wonderful also, because of Louie Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, now if you know me, then you know my love/obsession for those two. Really only when they sing together though, I can't stand to hear them apart because it's heartbreaking. They're just two people that should sing together constantly because of the joy they bring others. I don't think two artists were ever more perfectly suited to each other. Anyways, last night I met this guy at Matt when I was chaperoning (man that makes me feel old to say) for a youth mini camp this weekend, anyways he was telling me that his grandparents saw Louie in Ontario, but what's even better about that is when Louie would have breaks during his shows, he would go outside and play for people who couldn't afford to go in and see the show. Isn't that simply wonderful? I was so touched when I heard that, so Louie isn't just a wonderful musician, but thoughtful, what a winning combination.
Also, speaking os Sexy music, when I was at work today, I heard this song by "Sting". Now, it's the same one that "Union" his duet with Black Eyed peas, but it's the old version with completely different lyrics. I want to know the name of that song because the music is stunning. The song I think is about him being in India, but there's a saxaphone in the background and it's proabably one of the most gorgeous melodies I've ever heard.
So things that make me overwhelmingly content, December, Sundays, and Music. Oh and you. Yes you.
