Changing with the seasons

The weather in the Niagara Region is starting to heat up and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The winters are long – too long, and frigid weather after the holiday season feels makes a lad feel blue. Last summer’s sub-par excuse for warm weather makes me feel pretty optimistic that we’re due for ‘a scorcher’. In lieu of hot weather and fast times, writing is bound for an upbeat spin. There’s something about the summer time – BBQ’s, bare feet in grass, baseball, windows down and manure in the pastures that makes country-rock music make sense to just about everyone; writing songs for people to step to can never be terrible. Time and seasons are inevitable, why fight it? In the winter we seek comfort and assurance, clinging to the soft and soothing makes sense to me. Summer time – hot dandy, time to come out of hibernation, be loud and make the people dance.
