Tomorrow we are off on our annual sojourn to Vermont, so I thought I’d post something with a Vermont theme.
The only song I could think of was Moonlight in Vermont. Unfortunately, Willie Nelson’s version, which was the first I ever heard and a great rendition, is not available as a video, nor is Ray Charles’, which sounds great. I’m not a big Sinatra fan, but this version with Ella Fitzgerald, is definitely the best video of the song that I could find on youtube.
In keeping with the Vermont theme it occurred to me that a Phish performance would be appropriate, considering that they’re a Vermont band. As you might imagine, there is no shortage of Phish stuff on line. The problem is that I was never a big Phish fan, though you’d never know it judging by my inbox. I made the mistake of downloading something from their website at some point, and have ever since been getting almost daily emails. The point is, I have no idea which of their songs is a greatest hit, and which is merely an album filler. I picked this one, Bouncing around the Room, because there were so many versions of it available. This one was filmed here in Connecticut, on April 29, 1990 at the Woodbury Ski & Raquet Club.
