MARIAN McPARTLAND “Blackberry Winter” from her album Twilight World
Editor’s note: Marian McPartland (1918-2013) , a Grammy winning jazz pianist and composer, was one of the few women to become famous in the male dominated jazz star firmament. She lived in the jazz world being married to cornetist Jimmy McPartland. From 1978 to 2011 she hosted a jazz show on NPR called “Piano Jazz.”
We heard her play live in the 1970’s in a small theatre in South Hampton. We became fans immediately and saw her play live on other occasions.
There was a sweet heart-felt romanticism in her music, and I couldn’t help but think that she brought some deeply rooted feminine expressiveness to her playing. She had a long career, and her bio. is worth Googling.—-Paul Goldfinger Blogfinger.net

We played this song yesterday (2015) by Nora Jones and Willie Nelson, but Lee Morgan, our resident music professor at the Blogfinger University, has a retro-idea. This is what he says:
“The last words I uttered last night were “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” No coincidence that my first words this morning were those same words.
“In 1944, Frank Loesser penned a song entitled “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” The song is a duet between a man and a woman…
“The piece has been covered by dozens of artists over the years. In 1961 Ray Charles and Betty Carter came together and made this iconic recording. There is nothing I can say that will aid the experience of carefully listening to their magic.”
RAY CHARLES AND BETTY CARTER with a 54year old classic duet for the ages:

Record breaking cold in February. Precipitation on Sunday will end at midnight after 1-2 inches snow, then sleet and freezing rain and then rain

Weatherman Rick Cuttrell says, “As we close the books on one of the all-time coldest months on record, March is coming in like a lion with wintery precipitation threats today, Tuesday night and then possibly a third on Thursday.” Emergenchy parking rules are in effect today.
Blogfinger photographers love to photograph snow, so even though you may be sick of the white stuff, we love good photography:
