The Writer's Life 11/15 - Music & Snow

RIP country music legend Roy Clark, 85. He was the host or co-host for the entire 24-year run of Hee Haw. A great guitarist, he performed all over the world, and appeared as a guest on numerous TV shows, and even did some acting. He played other instruments as well. He won a Grammy, seven CMA's and two ACM's. He published a memoir in 1994, My Life in Spite of Myself, co-written with Marc Eliot. He cranked out 37 studio albums, from which 68 singles were pulled, his most successful being Yesterday When I Was Young. There are nine live discs and five compilations that carry his name. Way back in the day when I was a young know-it-all who actually knew nothing, I thought country artists were hacks who appealed to yokels. I was aware of who Roy Clark was but completely unaware of his virtuoso skill, which I discovered in an odd way, as I was not a fan of the the following TV show, which I landed on while channel hopping:

Awesome, sir. Thank you.

As if there needed to be any more evidence that this topsy turvy world has gone mad - Michael Avenatti, lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels and accuser of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, was arrested on domestic violence charges. While this gladdens the hearts of those of us who support President Trump, the shyster is just as entitled to the presumption of innocence as any citizen. Actress and activist Alyssa Milano has already bailed on him. Milano, who was beside Avenatti at a protest outside the White House in July, took to Twitter to repudiate him. How does she know he's not the victim of some political dirty trick?

I was tempted to open the floating book shop despite the raw cold and lack of sun. Fortunately, parking was unavailable and put the kibosh on that silly idea. As I've said before, if this weather pattern continues and temperatures dip below freezing, we are in for it this winter. I took the shot above at 1:30 PM. Hopefully, the forecast is correct and it will change to rain. The expected accumulation has already been changed from one inch to two-to-five.
