good ol' 14a.....


Welcome, sweet springtime, we greet thee in song.....

Barney Fife "sang" this song with the Mayberry choir in one of the earlier episodes, "Barney and the Choir". Actually, he didn't sing it. If you'll recall, his voice was so horrible that Andy convinced him that he was singing into a super-sensitive microphone and that by singing very softly his voice would reverberate all over the room. (They had to do something because John Masters sent off for the arrangement from New York!) Turns out he was simply kip-syncing while one of the baritones actually sang the song into a mic offstage.

If today's supposed the be the first day of spring, you could have fooled me. My drive in this morning was done so in a driving rain while the temperature hovered around 37. It's not supposed to get out of the mid 50's all week. Two weeks ago we had highs in the upper 70's and low 80's. Now that springtime is here, it's cold again.

I guess I'll put the shorts up and drag the sweats out again.....
