    Music to accompany a snowfall in the St Lawrence Valley - 17

      Here is a comment
          from someone on youtube about the Claude
            Thornhill orchestra.

      
          I agree with the comment:    "One of the most
              underrated ... orchestras of the Big Band era."

      A comment
            from HERE:

           
        This
                was bandleader Thornhill’s first commercial release of
                his theme (which he would re-record in 1949 for RCA
                Victor). 

        
                “Snowfall” originated as part of an earlier and
                longer--but not commercially-recorded--Thornhill
                composition titled

         “A
                Fountain In Havana” (available on a 1935 Ray Noble radio
                broadcast). The original 78rpm single was issued

         on
                Columbia 36268 - Snowfall (Thornhill) by Claude
                Thornhill & his Orchestra, recorded in NYC May 26,
                1941

          ------------------------------------------------------

       
       A half
            century ago Linda
              and I were living in an old house we had bought in
              Westerly, RI. and

         I had
            recently started an Instructor tour at SubSchool.  It was
            late on a snowy night and I was

         working in the
            basement and paused to look out the window at the snow slanting down through

 the
              yellow street lights. That was a snapshot which I never
            forgot of a quiet night in a warm

basement with the smell of
            sawdust in the air and the
            song SNOWFALL on the radio in the background. 

         
         We had a million
            years ahead of us.                    Just another moment in time.
