GUEST,Craig Lyr ADD: After the Snow (from Dayle Stanley) (34) RE: Lyr Req: After the Snow (from Dayle Stanley) 18 Nov 17


Stephen Scotti passed away in July of 2013 at age 78. Here's the link to the obituary notice:

http://www.tributes.com/obituary/show/Stephen-R.-Scotti-96038429

You will note that there is no mention of Dayle, the mother of his two sons, unless Christine is her real first name (not Ramona) and she is alive and well and Stephen's widow.

What has been posted here about Dayle and Stephen conflicts with something I remember from seeing Dayle perform at Tufts University in February 1966. She mentioned to the audience something about a divorce, and I inferred that she and Stephen were no longer together, and yet "Clinton" here says he/she met and hung out with them in the early 70's and that they shared a home in Gloucester at that time.

I am grateful to whoever posted the lyrics to "After The Snow", because there is a line in the song that I had despaired of making out from either Dayle's or Bonnie Dobson's rendition. The line is "Stolen wine we found on Orange Hill".

For any who may be interested--I have a long-standing hobby of making conceptual music mixes--"musicollages", as I call them--and about four years ago, after discovering both renditions of "After The Snow" on YouTube, I curated a mix called 'In The Bleak Mid-Winter', on a Christmas theme with an embedded love story that ends in death; the actual inspiration for the mix was "The Christmas Shoes". The mix is available to be listened to on Mixcloud; links below for the audible and the tracklist.

BTW, among these posts is a quote from a post I had placed with another website. The "Lisa" mentioned therein is Lisa Gerrard, the female half of the World Music duo, Dead Can Dance. She is also renowned for her filmscore work, notably 'The Insider' and 'Gladiator'.
