Martini and a SRG dinner...
« Reply #-1 on: September 26, 2013, 01:10:03 AM »
... doesn't get better than this for me - martini made with blue cheese stuffed olives and cocktail onions.  Then a chopped chicken sandwich with homemade bread and smoked Gouda - oven dried tomatoes as a side

pz -you nailed it! Simple, elegant, and looks delicious. Perfect. For some reason makes me think of a perfect New Years Eve in the mountains, looking at the softly falling snow. Fire crackling in the hearth. George Winston on the stereo.

My goodness, David - you mentioned one of my favorite artists, and "December" is in my opinion one of his best.  I typically play that album in my office as soon as the Christmas season starts  :)

pz - I look forward to the Christmas season to put December on as well. However, probably my favorite cut is from Autumn - Colors/Dance.

I'll need to get that one - I cannot imagine that George Winston would put out anything other than stellar.  Thanks for posting!

I'm sure this is not really George Winston playing and the recording is not good - but it will give you an idea of this piece. It is one of my favorites. I see the leaves blowing and the skies getting darker... racing to the inevitability of winter... http://www.last.fm/music/George+Winston/_/Colors%2FDance

Indeed; reminds me of "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" which is still to this day one of my favorite animations - saw it as a youngster, and have never tired of watching it to this day, especially the part where Snoopy is playing the part of a WWI flying ace.

Shame that we do not live closer together, David - would love to have you over as a regular guest for dinner.  I'm sure the conversation and food would be world class  ;)

It would be a blast, pz. But maybe I will pass your way one day or you might be this way. I am confident we will meet. For now, it is great to know you in the forum and have a chance to talk.
