Winter in Michigan


My heart's in the ice house come hill or come valley
Like a long ago Sunday when I walked through the alley
On a cold winter's morning to a church house
just to shovel some snow

--John Prine,Bruised Orange (Chain of Sorrows)

St. Louis Blues


"I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause, my baby, he's gone left this town

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way"

--St. Louis Blues, W.C. Handy
