Fairweather's Red Mud Inn: December 2009
http://redmudinn.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Fairweather's Red Mud Inn. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Wagner’s reworking of the aria did not catch on. In any case, the main character in both story and opera is Lord Ruthven, the vampire, a baritone role. Imagine my surprise when, last night while cruising YouTube, I found this gem: Ruthven’s aria "Ha! Noch einen ganzen Tag" ("Still a whole day"), sung by the operatic love of my life, Thomas Hampson. I must have blood! As to whether I would allow him any of mine? Sunday, December 27, 2009. The words to...

Fairweather's Red Mud Inn: Take This Tune: Heartbroke, Anybody?
http://redmudinn.blogspot.com/2010/01/take-this-tune-heartbroke-anybody.html
Fairweather's Red Mud Inn. Sunday, January 17, 2010. Take This Tune: Heartbroke, Anybody? This week at Take This Tune. An occasional contributor who goes by the nom de clavier of Fairweather posted a live version of Emmylou Harris’s song "Heartbreak Hill", then added this:. Now as you know, my field of preference is classic country and bluegrass, and we've got a blue goodelin' of songs about heartbreak- but it's also a constant theme in other genres, from jazz, blues, rock, classical/opera. I managed to ...

Fairweather's Red Mud Inn: An Evening with M. R. James
http://redmudinn.blogspot.com/2009/12/evening-with-m-r-james.html
Fairweather's Red Mud Inn. Monday, December 21, 2009. An Evening with M. R. James. Imagine a room like this:. Decorated for Christmas, it’s warm and cozy. Now then, imagine that over to the righthand side of the fireplace, there sits a man in a large armchair. He’s not a handsome man by any means, but his face is strongly marked by intelligence and humor—and he is about to work magic. In his spare time, however, he wrote ghost stories. At first he read them to his fellow Cambridge dons during the Chr...

Fairweather's Red Mud Inn: January 2010
http://redmudinn.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Fairweather's Red Mud Inn. Saturday, January 30, 2010. Take This Tune: 'At Sojer Boy's Got a EVIL Twin. This week at Take This Tune, our theme is love lost and found, as in the ballad Pretty Fair Maid in the Garden, with roots in the sixteenth century. To some fair girl married"? The Pretty Fair Maid’s answers are apparently satisfactory, for he reveals himself as her true love, and they live happily ever after. Well met, well met, my own true love,. Well met, well met, cried he. To be my partner in life.

Fairweather's Red Mud Inn: Ruling Days
http://redmudinn.blogspot.com/2009/12/ruling-days.html
Fairweather's Red Mud Inn. Sunday, December 27, 2009. Here in the knobs, Christmas Day's weather was cold and cloudy, windy with rain late in the day. January, therefore, will be cold and rainy, especially toward the end of the month, according to the old people. Yesterday, February's ruler, was cold but sunny, while today, March's ruler, is sunny, mild (48 degrees) and breezy. Right up until January 6th, Mom and Aunt Barbara will keep track of the weather. And then, we'll see. An Explorer's View of Life.

Fairweather's Red Mud Inn: Christmas Lullaby
http://redmudinn.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-lullaby.html
Fairweather's Red Mud Inn. Wednesday, December 23, 2009. The words to "Come Ye Sinners" were published in 1759 by their author, British minister Joseph Hart. In 1835, a Spartanburg, South Carolina singing school teacher named William Walker- better known among fans of oldtime music as "Singin’ Billy"- set the words to a tune called "Restoration" in his shape-note hymnal THE SOUTHERN HARMONY. Hush my babe, lie still and slumber. Holy angels guard thy bed. Heavenly blessings without number. I can imagine a...

Fairweather's Red Mud Inn: February 2010
http://redmudinn.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Fairweather's Red Mud Inn. Saturday, February 6, 2010. Some of you will be able to leave comments at my other blog (Fairweather Lewis); others cannot because of a glitch there preventing some ISPs from opening new accounts on Blogstream. My computer guru Willard and I are brainstorming to try to find some way either to straighten this blog out or to put my blog into a format where I can put together my own comment settings.
