Wet, Wet, Wet to Dry, Dry, Dry.

If you get the feeling that the TV weather forecasters have a hard time making a daily forecast—YOU ARE NOT ALONE. From a wet, windy and for the most part quite chilly spring, the weather pattern all of a sudden changed to—dry, dry, dry. When was the line of demarcation – change in weather??? I am not including the Southern Tier in this observation—that is a seemingly different climate pattern! Wherever, whatever, western New Yorkers are in survival mode and making the most of an early “tricky” summer weather situation. Is it going to rain today or not?

I do have to mention our day trip June 24 to Walker’s Family Farm in Bright, Ontario to see Shake, Baby, Shake. The lead singer/piano player was the best musician I have seen in years! It started with Danny and the Juniors AT THE HOP and maybe, just a couple of times, got out the early 1955-1960 Rock and Roll era. This lead musician played the part of Jerry Lee Lewis in 2000 plus performances in the Million Dollar Quartet at the Apollo Theater in Harlem in NYC. To me he was mesmerizing! And, you know what his forte was? Of course! He ended the program with Lewis’ Whole Lot of Shaking Going On. The weather that day was hot, hot, hot, but the show was even hotter!

May you have a great summer and be happy and carefree in all that you do. Best of health to everyone.
