Thread Name: seasonal song - performing out of season?
Subject: RE: seasonal song - performing out of season?
Marie, I tend to agree with you that songs usually work best when they're at least roughly "in season." E.g., I love Joni Mitchell's song "Urge For Goin'" but it feels really weird to sing about plying the fire with kindling, pulling the blankets to my chin, and winter closing in when it's early July and the temperature is in the 90s Farenheit.*

*PS, I've been known to throw in "Let It Snow" or "Frosty The Snowman" on just such a day, as a mainly futile attempt to "beat the heat."
