Music to accompany a snowfall in the St Lawrence Valley - 17 January 2022

Here is a comment from someone on youtube about the https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=claude+thornhill" rel="nofollow - Claude Thornhill orchestra .
I agree with the comment:    "One of the most underrated ... orchestras of the Big Band era."

Claude Thornhill's:  SNOWFALL    https://youtu.be/VwoHnmUihGY" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/VwoHnmUihGY

A comment from https://youtu.be/gSaCNLIa36s" rel="nofollow - 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.                    http://www.northofseveycorners.com/ntins/ntins2.htm#capture" rel="nofollow - Just another moment in time .
